A bomb-laden drone launched by the Houthi rebels exploded on Thursday over a Yemeni military parade at al-Anad Air Base in the southern province of Lahj, leaving several troops dead and injured.
Military officials said at least six people were killed and around 20 injured, including "officers and senior leaders" from the Yemeni army.
Yemen's information minister, Moammar al-Eryani, said the attack wounded two senior commanders, showing that the Houthi militias are "not ready for peace."
Eryani slammed the strike near Aden and urged "the international community to stand by the legitimate government and force the militias to give up their weapons and pull out of the cities."
He said that the government has confiscated shipments of weapons coming from Iran, and this drone is "another testament that Iranians continue to arm Houthis and destabilize Yemen."
