Jordan has strongly condemned the terrorist attack that took place in Aden which claimed the lives of fifteen soldiers, including four Emiratis and one Saudi, who were performing their national duty within the Saudi-led coalition, Operation Restoring Hope, in Yemen.

The Jordan News Agency, Petra, quoted the Yemeni Minister of State for Media Affairs and government spokesman, Mohammed Al-Momani, as saying, "Terrorism strikes every day in the ugliest forms and methods, and everyone should take responsibility for addressing this serious scourge."

The Minister re-iterated Jordan's solidarity with the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, after the deaths of a number of their soldiers and citizens as a result of terrorist operations.

On behalf of the Jordanian government, Al-Momani offered condolences to the governments of the brotherly countries, and to the families of the martyrs.
