At least 15 people were killed on Tuesday when a rocket-propelled grenade hit a hotel which houses members of the government of Yemen's deposed President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi in the port city of Aden, the media reported.

Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and members of his cabinet were unharmed in the attack on Al Qasr Hotel in the southern port city, EFE news reported.

Local media reports said the victims included one Saudi and three Emirati soldiers.

Yemeni officials have blamed the Shia Houthi rebels for the attack.

However, no official confirmation has come so far.
