WATCH: Moment of Blast at Aden's Airport in Yemen

Terrifying footage has captured the moment a missile exploded at a Yemeni airport shortly after a plane carrying a newly formed government for Yemen arrived from Saudi Arabia, in what officials are calling a 'cowardly' attack by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

At least 26 people were killed and dozens more wounded in the attack on Aden Airport earlier today as gunfire rang out following the blast.
