Rockets hit hotel housing top Yemeni officials in Aden

At least 12 people were killed Tuesday in a rocket attack that targeted a hotel hosting top Yemeni officials in the southern city of Aden.

It is unclear if any senior government officials were hurt in the attack.  

On Sept. 22, President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi chaired a cabinet meeting in Aden, the temporary capital, after returning to the war-torn country from Saudi Arabia.

Hadi had spent six months in Riyadh after fleeing Yemen a year earlier when capital Sanaa was overrun by the Shia Houthi militant group.

Yemen descended into chaos in September 2014, after the Houthis overran Sanaa.
