The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack that targeted a police station in Yemen’s southern city of Aden and claimed at least 60 lives.

The bombing was one of Thursday’s twin attacks targeting security facilities in Aden, the temporary seat of Yemen’s Saudi-backed government.

The other was a missile attack by Yemen’s Iran-linked Houthi rebels on a military camp in which more than 30 people were killed.

A witness saw nine bodies on the ground at the camp belonging to the Yemeni Security Belt forces backed by the United Arab Emirates, which is a member of the Saudi-led military coalition battling the Houthis.

The attack killed at least 32 people, including a commander, a medical and a security source said.
