Local sources in Aden reported that at least five people, including a Syrian citizen, were killed in an armed attack carried out by an individual described as a "unruly element," who opened fire on the security forces tasked with guarding the residence of Yemen's Minister of State and Governor of Aden in Southern Yemen.

The media office of Governor of Aden stated in a release that the attack resulted in the deaths of a soldier and a Syrian couple who were passing along the road; both were doctors working at a hospital near the scene of the incident.
