DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — At least seven
people were killed Wednesday in a car bomb blast targeting the convoy of a
security official in the southern Yemeni government-controlled city of
Aden,
security sources said.

The blast “targeted the convoy of the Lahij
governorate security director, Saleh Al-Sayed, in the Khor Maksar neighborhood
of central Aden”, a source told AFP.
At least four soldiers and three civilians were
killed in the blast, added the source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A Yemeni journalist was killed earlier in June when
a bomb detonated in his car in Aden.
Yemen has been gripped by war since 2014, when
Iran-backed Houthi rebels overran the capital
Sanaa, prompting the government
to flee to Aden and then into exile in Saudi Arabia.
A Saudi-led military intervention launched in 2015
has allowed the government to recover Aden and much of the south.
But the fighting has left hundreds of thousands of dead and
millions more displaced in what the
UN calls the world’s worst humanitarian
crisis.
