A twin blast at a military base located near the airport of Aden in southern Yemen killed at least four soldiers, France-Presse News Agency reports, citing military sources.

According to the military, the attackers detonated an explosive device set in a car near the entrance to the base. The attackers managed to make their way to a military facility, where they blew up a second vehicle.

​Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the government and Shiite Ansar Allah movement, also known as Houthi rebels, who have been supported by army units loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Since late March, a Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against Houthi positions at the request of Hadi.
