The new Yemeni government vowed on Thursday to bring stability to country, a day after an attack on Aden's airport targeting cabinet members.

Explosions rocked the airport on Wednesday as ministers disembarked from an aircraft in the southern city.

Foreign Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak told AFP on Thursday the new government is up to the challenges facing the country.

"The government is determined to fulfil its duty and work to restore stability in Yemen," he said.

"This terrorist attack will not deter it from that."

Some ministers, including Mubarak, blamed the Houthi insurgents for Wednesday’s attack.

"Information and preliminary investigations show that the Houthi militia was behind this ugly terrorist attack," Mubarak told AFP, adding that missiles were launched from areas controlled by the militias.
