CAIRO/AMMAN:Egypt condemned on Wednesday the deadly explosions that targeted Aden's airport in southern Yemen right after the arrival of a new power-sharing government from Saudi Arabia.
Egypt stressed that such "despicable terrorist acts" will not discourage the new Yemeni government from moving forward with its tasks to restore state institutions, reports Xinhua news agency quoting the Egyptian Foreign Ministry as saying in a statement.
Cairo also reaffirmed its position to support Yemen in its struggle to restore security and stability, achieve the aspirations of the Yemeni people, and confront all forms of terrorism and its supporters, the statement added.
Egypt expressed solidarity with the Yemeni government and people, offered its condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery for the injured.
On the same note, Jordan on Wednesday also condemned the attack, which reportedly has killed at least 26 people and injured more than 50.
Jordan’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Deifallah Fayez stressed Jordan's denouncement of this "cowardly terror attack," according to a ministry statement.
He also voiced rejection against all forms of violence and terrorism, aimed at destabilising Yemen's security and stability, as well as impeding efforts to prevent deterioration in Yemen, end the conflict, achieve peace, and meet the needs of the Yemeni people.
Three massive explosions rocked the Aden International Airport in southern Yemen on Wednesday minutes after a plane carrying the new power-sharing government members from Saudi Arabia landed at the airport.
Yemen's President Abdu-Rabbu Mansour Hadi accused the Houthi rebel group of being behind the explosions, reported Xinhua according to a statement released by the pro-government ministry based in the southern port city of Aden.
The ministry's statement indicated that the coordinated blasts targeted local officials and employees gathered to welcome the government's members at the airport.
