Two presidential guard soldiers were killed in Yemen's interim capital Aden on Tuesday.

As per Nasir Abbad, Aden's Hur Mekser district police chief, the identities of the perpetrators have not been ascertained yet, as reported by the Anadolu Agency.

The soldiers were said to be motorbike-borne riding near a Yemeni Airways building in Hur Mekser, as they launched an attack on the soldiers.

Yemen has in the past witnessed multiple incidents of violence and problems since 2014. The Houthi rebels had led various attacks in the country including Yemen's capital Sanaa.

In 2015, Saudi Arabia and its Sunni-Arab allies had launched a massive military campaign in Yemen aimed at rolling back Houthi gains.
