Yemen: 2 soldiers killed and 2 wounded by a bomb at checkpoint
A Yemeni security official says two soldiers have been killed and two others wounded after a bomb placed under their car exploded at a checkpoint in the capital.
The official said Saturday’s explosion in Sanaa also wounded a passer-by. The official spoke on condition of anonymity according to regulations. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Local al-Qaeda militants have been carrying out attacks against security personnel as part of an offensive challenging the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
