4 Indian nurses among 16 dead in gun attack on Yemen care home

Four Indian nurses were among at least 16 people killed today when gunmen opened fire at an elderly care home in Yemen's main southern city of Aden, security officials said.

Four gunmen stormed the care home in Aden's Sheikh Othman district, killing a guard and shooting randomly at residents, the officials told AFP.

One official said the attackers were "extremists" and blamed the Islamic State group, which has been gaining ground in Aden in recent months.
