A suicide bomber on Wednesday attacked a South Korean delegation visiting Yemen, just days after a weekend bombing at a historic tourist site that killed four of their compatriots.
No one was killed or injured in the blast.
“Vehicles carrying our government officials and bereaved family members came under a terrorist attack today. Nobody was harmed,” said a foreign ministry official in Seoul.
The bomber blew up his explosives belt as the delegation was travelling with Yemeni officials in a three-car convoy to the airport in the capital Sanaa, shattering car windows, officials in Yemen and South Korea said.
