The civil defense forces in Yemen's Aden managed early Friday to control fire that erupted from a bomb explosion that targeted an oil pipeline linking Al Zeit port to Al Buraiqeh oil refinery.

According to Sada Aden news network, Aden refinery company media officer Nasser Shayef said that efforts by the firefighters to put out fire were rendered a success following stopping the flow of fuel into the pipeline.

Meanwhile, eyewitnesses said that Yemeni police forces exchanged fire with suspects believed to be the perpetrators of the bomb blast.
