At least 60 people were killed in a suicide car bomb attack on an army training camp in Yemen’s second city of Aden on Monday, security officials said in a new toll.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at a local militia compound in the southern Yemeni city of Aden on Monday, and said the attack killed about 60 new recruits, according to the group’s Amaq news agency.
Medics from Al-Wali hospital in Aden said that dozens of those wounded in the morning attack who were hospitalised had succumbed to their wounds.
A security official gave an initial figure of 11 dead in the car bombing, which struck a gathering of Yemeni army recruits at the camp.
