Muscat: Oman has condemned the terror attack at Aden airport on Wednesday, which led to a number of deaths and injuries.
In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry on Thursay, the Sultanate urged all parties to resort to dialogue and understanding, as well as supporting efforts for establishing peace in Yemen.
Earlier, at least 26 people were killed and more than 100 people were wounded in an attack on Yemen’s Aden airport on Wednesday, according to local authorities.
The incident happened shortly after a plane carrying the newly formed and internationally recognized Yemeni government arrived from Saudi Arabia.
Loud blasts and gunfire were heard at the airport after the plane landed in Yemen's temporary capital, witnesses said.
Three mortar shells hit the airport hall, a local security source told Reuters news agency, while Yemeni Communication Minister Naguib al-Awg, who was on board the plane, told The Associated Press that he heard two explosions and suggested it may have been a drone attack.
