40 soldiers dead in bombing

A suicide bomber from the Islamic State group killed at least 40 Yemeni soldiers in Aden on Sunday, the latest in a string of deadly attacks against recruits in the country's second city. Military officials and medics said many others were wounded in the attack that targeted a crowd of servicemen who had gathered to collect their salaries near a base in northeastern Aden. "The number of those killed has exceeded 40 with some 50 others wounded," Aden health chief, Abdel Nasser al-Wali, told AFP.
