Local residents and security sources said that heavy gunfire broke out in the presidential palace area in Aden in southern Yemen on the evening of the 6th, and anti-aircraft machine guns fired at drones that appeared over the presidential palace. Since Yemen's Houthis took control of the capital Sana'a and other places in 2014, Aden has become the seat of the Yemeni government recognized by the international community. However, since the beginning of December last year, the local power Southern Transitional Council has taken over the port city and maintained control over it. Local residents said the shooting continued for some time on the 6th. After the gunfire, armed forces belonging to the Southern Transitional Council quickly deployed to main streets and residential areas and set up multiple checkpoints throughout the city. The area around the presidential palace then calmed down.
