Violent clashes broke out between Yemeni security forces stationed in Mualla of Aden city and some militants who took control of the western gate of Aden harbor, Aden Governor Aidroos Al Zubaidi said on Sunday.

The Yemeni security forces expelled militants who tried to attack Aden governorate's building and some parts of Aden harbor, he added.

A number of those militants were arrested after they have been forced to withdraw away from the port, he asserted.

Aden harbor and all government institutions are under the control of the Yemeni security forces who will deal harshly with any acts flouting laws, he underlined.
