Three civilians were killed and another was injured when a mine exploded at their car in the Yemeni city of Aden, Almasdar Online quoted a local source as saying on Saturday.

A mother and her two children were killed in the blast while her husband was moved to a hospital for medical treatment, the source further said.

The car was destroyed in the blast.

Houthi militants and pro-former president Ali Abdullah Saleh militias planted thousands of mines in the areas where pro-legitimate government forces had forced them out.
