Indian nuns, 12 others killed in Yemen retirement home

An Aden security official told The National that four extremist militants had knocked on the door of the home and told the guard that they wanted to visit their mother who was a resident. The gunmen, who handcuffed the victims before shooting them in the head, did not target the inmates.

Four gunmen entered the facility, killed the guard, and then tied up and executed the employees, according to AFP.

The home is located in the Sheikh Osman district in Aden.

Four nuns, including one from India, also had two nuns from Rwanda and one from Kenya, informed Sunita Kumar, spokesperson of the Missionaries of Charity.
