Twin suicide car bombs today killed at least six soldiers in an attack on an army headquarters in southeast Yemen, the military said.
Yemeni security forces are often the target of deadly attacks, which are usually blamed on Al-Qaeda militants who are active in the violence-wracked country.
The explosive-laden vehicles were detonated at the entrance of the base in the town of Seiyun in Hadramawt province, according to a military source.
“According to a preliminary toll, six soldiers were killed and eight others wounded,” the source said.
The blasts came shortly after the arrival of a convoy carrying a military general who was unharmed, the source added.
