A suicide bomber killed at least 43 soldiers in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden on Sunday, officials there said, a week after an attack by the militant Islamic State (IS) group killed 50 troops nearby.

The morning blast targeted soldiers waiting to collect their
salaries outside a Yemeni coast guard installation near Aden’s Solaban military
base, according to the officials. It followed a Dec. 10 car bombing outside the
base that killed more than 50 soldiers also lined up to collect payments.
Islamic State’s Yemeni branch claimed responsibility for the
first attack, though no group immediately claimed Sunday’s explosion.
The 'Yemen war' has killed more than 7,000 people, about half
of them civilians.
