Aden
\nA pregnant Yemeni journalist was killed in a car explosion in the coastal city of Aden Tuesday, Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalek of the Saudi-backed internationally recognized government said, according to Yemen News Agency.
\nJournalist Rasha Abdullah al-Harazi was in a car with her husband, Mahmoud Ameen al-Atmy, also a reporter, when the incident took place. An explosive device was attached to the car while the journalists were driving near the Abyan seashore, the country\u2019s state-run agency reported.
\nAl-Atmy survived the blast but was seriously injured, according to the Yemen Journalist Syndicate (YJS).
\n\u201cThe Syndicate considers this crime a reprehensible precedent, and expresses fear that it serves as a dangerous indicator of a new and violent phase targeting journalists in Yemen,\u201d the YJS said.
\nVideo filmed by Reuters showed the aftermath of the explosion, with several onlookers inspecting the charred husk of the vehicle on the side of the road. The front of the car appeared to have been completely ripped apart by the explosive.
\nThe Yemen\u2019s Saudi-backed Ministry for Human Rights said that al-Harazi was nine months\u2019 pregnant while Saudi-owned TV channel Al Arabiya said that al-Atmy worked for them as a reporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
