ADEN: Demonstrators broke into the Egyptian Consulate in the Yemeni port city of Aden briefly yesterday in a protest against Cairo’s response to Israel’s offensive against Gaza.
The protesters, mostly students from the University of Aden, “vandalized furniture before they were removed peacefully from the building,” a security official said. Three staff members were inside the building at the time and were unhurt.
He said one protester was wounded when a consular guard opened fire and that the protesters retaliated by setting fire to two consular vehicles.
More than 20 demonstrators were arrested, he added.
