ADEN: A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-packed car into a Yemeni army checkpoint on Friday, killing nine soldiers, a military source said.
The attack was mounted near the city of Qoton in southeastern Yemen’s vast desert province of Hadramawt where Al-Qaeda operates.
The military source said the dead soldiers were members of an army division loyal to exiled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
Hadi was forced out of the country after Shiite Huthi rebels last year seized the capital Sanaa and challenged the government’s authority.
