A Yemni employee looks as flames and smoke billow from the oil refinery in Aden yesterday.

ADEN: Yemen’s 150,000 barrel-per-day Aden refinery resumed operations yesterday after being shut for more than five months as the conflict in the country worsened, an industry source at the refinery said.
“The refinery is back online and is refining crude it had in storage from before,” the source said, adding the refinery was now operating at half of its processing capacity.
The plant, in the southern city of Aden, was shut in April and Aden Refinery Company declared force majeure on its oil imports and exports in the same month.Reuters
