Sanaa/UNI/Sputnik: Six UN workers have been kidnapped in southern Yemen, the Yemen Press Agency (YPA) reports.

The UN staff, which included five Yemeni nationals and one Bulgarian, were abducted on Friday in Abyan Governorate.

The kidnappers drove the UN workers to an unknown location, local sources told YPA on Saturday.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, but, according to local media reports, members of the local branch of al-Qaeda (terrorist group, banned in Russia) could be behind the abduction.

According to YPA, the International Rescue Committee announced that it was suspending its humanitarian work in Yemen's Abyan last year after two of the aid organization's vehicles were robbed by unidentified militants.
