17 police killed in Yemen rebel attack on Aden: medics
DUBAI, Aug 1, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – At least 17 Yemeni police were killed and
scores wounded Thursday in a rebel attack on a military camp near the
government-held second city of Aden, a medical source said.
The Shiite rebels who control the capital said that the attack on Al-Jala
camp, about 20 kilometres (13 miles) west of Aden, was carried out using a
drone and a ballistic missile.
The attack came as a suicide bomber killed at least three police, trained
and backed by the United Arab Emirates, in the Sheikh Othman area of the
southern port city.
