(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The Russian embassy in Yemen is considering shutting down its consulate in Aden and evacuating its nationals from the war-torn country.

"There is not a single whole window left," the source said, adding that there is a possibility that the Russian consulate in Aden might be closed and all Russian citizens might be evacuated from the city.
