SANA'A, April 9, 2012- A soldier was killed on Monday in Yemen's southern sea port of Aden by armed men belonging to Southern Movement.

Eyewitnesses said that a soldier was killed immediately when armed men attacked him at Caltex checkpoint.

According to private sources, armed men believed to be southern movement militants blocked roads and closed schools in several districts in an attempt to impose disobedience situation in the province.

"The fire continued for a long time by militants in order to spread fears amongst unarmed people," a resident in Al-Mansora district said.
