Aden, Rabi'II 5, 1437, Jan 15, 2016, SPA -- A Yemeni government spokesman said a blast hit pipelines connecting oil storage tanks with the refinery in the city of Aden, causing a huge fire, AP reported. Naser Shayef, spokesman for the nation's refineries administration, told The Associated Press that the explosion took place at 1:00 a.m. and sent thick smoke billowing over the city. Fire fighters put the fire out two hours later and only two oil pipelines were sabotaged, he said. No group claimed responsibility for the attack. --SPA 12:15 LOCAL TIME 09:15 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
