Three schoolchildren have drowned during a trip in Yemen’s temporary capital Aden, according to a local newspaper.
The drownings occurred Saturday when the children were swimming off Al Ghadir coast west of Aden, online newspaper Aden Al Ghad reported, citing a local source.
“The school trip ended up in a tragedy after strong waves pushed the children into the sea,” the source added.
The internationally recognised government declared Aden a temporary capital after Yemen’s Iran-aligned Al Houthi militia staged a coup and seized the capital Sana’a in late 2014.
In 2015, an Arab alliance co-led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE intervened in Yemen in response to a request from the government after Al Houthis advanced on Aden.
