While Yemen has recently been hit by attacks from an Islamic State affiliate, no group has claimed responsibility for this latest bombing.

Yemeni officials said the car bomb hit the Central Security headquarters, which neighbours the Aden International Airport.

Following the deadly explosion, militants stormed the compound and clashed with soldiers.
