At least 10 killed in bombing at army camp in Aden

ADEN // A suicide bomber killed at least 10 recruits at a Yemeni army camp run by President Abdrabu Mansur Hadi’s government in Aden on Wednesday, medical sources and an official said.

They said several others were wounded in the explosion at the gate of Abbas camp in Buraiqa district of the southern city.

The camp had been recently set up to absorb new conscripts to a new army being set up by Mr Hadi’s internationally recognised government.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest in a series of bombings that had rattled Aden since Saudi-backed forces liberated the city from the Houthi rebels in July last year.

Hundreds of new recruits were at the gate trying to register their names to join the Yemeni army, they said.

Residents said ambulances were seen transporting casualties out to hospitals as troops surrounded the area to keep onlookers away.
