Two people were killed Tuesday (July 24th) and six, including a security commander loyal to Yemen's government, were wounded in a suicide attack in Aden, AFP reported.
The attacker blew himself up while riding a motorbike near a vehicle carrying the commander of a battalion of UAE-backed forces, a security source said.
The explosion killed a female passerby and a soldier driving the vehicle that was carrying the commander, who was among four wounded passengers, the source said.
Two civilians were also wounded, the source said.
A doctor in Aden confirmed the toll of two dead and six wounded to AFP.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is active in the south of the country.
Ten suspected al-Qaeda extremists and two soldiers fighting for Yemen's government were killed last week in southern Yemen, in clashes and a drone strike, local officials and security sources said Sunday.
