We strongly condemn the terrorist bomb attack perpetrated on the 5th of December against the Yemeni Ministry of Defense.

We wish God's mercy upon those who lost their lives, convey our condolences to their families and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded in this treacherous attack, targeting the national reconciliation and transition process in Yemen as well as the peace and well-being of the brotherly people of Yemen.

Turkey stands opposed to all kinds of terrorism regardless of its source or target and will continue to strongly support Yemen's national security, unity and territorial integrity against terrorist attempts targeting the peace and prosperity of the brotherly people of Yemen.
