Security forces backed by armored vehicles were deployed in Aden's entry points to thwart infiltration of potential terror elements from the neighboring provinces into the city, according to the local source.
However, two coordinated armed attacks rocked different locations in Aden later in the day despite the heavy security deployment in the city's key checkpoints.
A bomb attached to a vehicle of government official exploded and injured three of his bodyguards in Aden's neighborhood of Sheikh Othman.
Elsewhere in Aden, unknown gunmen tried to target a military convoy by remotely detonating a roadside bomb in Mansourah district, causing a huge explosion with no casualties.
The chief of Basateen Police Station also survived a third attack when gunmen opened gunshots toward his vehicle in Aden.
The southern port city of Aden is sinking in chaos, and daily armed attacks are occurring while leaders of local security forces are divided and keep exchanging accusations of failure, according to local political activists.
Leaders of the pro-secesssion Southern Transitional Council (STC) accused local Yemeni parties loyal to Qatar of being behind the latest wave of armed attacks aimed at destabilizing the city that is largely controlled by armed forces loyal to the UAE.
A member of the STC told Xinhua by phone saying that "the prominent allies of Qatar including the Islamic Islah party are carrying out these armed attacks in a desperate way to fight the UAE presence in Aden and make it unstable."
