ADEN, Yemen, April 4 (Xinhua) -- An explosion caused by a roadside bomb targeted on Saturday a military convoy in Yemen's southern port city of Aden, causing no casualties, a security official told Xinhua.
"An explosive device apparently planted on the side of a main road exploded, targeting military vehicles of the anti-Houthi Saudi-led military coalition in Aden," the local security source said on condition of anonymity.
The source said that the explosion only caused damage to the vehicles of the military convoy, causing no casualties.
According to the source, the military vehicles were heading to the main headquarters of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Aden's western part.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing yet, however, security sources noted that "the initial information found that incident had been masterminded by terror elements."
Last week, a new batch of Saudi Arabia's armed forces arrived in Aden and began preparations for multiplying security measures around the well-fortified main headquarters of the Saudi forces in the city.
The impoverished Arab country has been locked in a civil war since the Houthi rebels overran much of the country militarily and seized all northern provinces, including capital Sanaa, in 2014.
