At least 30 soldiers killed in massive suicide bombing


 
AT least 30 soldiers have been killed in a suicide bombing in the city of Aden, in Yemen.
 
The explosion killed at least 30 troops in the southern Yemeni port city – a week after an attack by ISIS killed 50 troops nearby.
 
 Officials said the soldiers were queuing to collect salaries near a military base in the Khor Maksar district when the attacker blew himself up.
 
 40 other troops were wounded.
 
 Aden is the temporary capital of Yemen's internationally recognised government in exile in neighbouring Saudi Arabia.
 
 The administration has struggled to establish its control in the city amid dozens of militant attacks against its forces.
 
 Al-QaIda and ISIS have exploited nearly two years of war in the extremely poor country to carry out assassinations and bombings – mostly in lawless southern Yemeni areas supposedly controlled by the government.
 
 Saudi Arabia and its allies in a mostly Gulf Arab military coalition have been bombing Yemen's dominant Houthi movement since it drove the government from power in March 2015 but have failed to dislodge the group from the capital, Sanaa.
