Daish claims Aden attack that killed 60: Amaq agency

The Daish group claimed responsiblity Monday for a suicide bombing against Yemeni army recruits in Aden that killed at least 60 people, the Daish-linked Amaq news agency said.

"Around 60 killed in a martyrdom operation carried out by a Daish fighter that targeted a recruitment centre in Aden," Amaq said in a statement published on Twitter.

In the incident, a suicide car bomb attack on an army training camp in Yemen's second city of Aden killed at least 60 people on Monday, medical sources said.

A security official told AFP that the attacker drove his vehicle into a gathering of new recruits at the camp in northern Aden.

The assault killed 60 people and wounded 29 others, medical sources from the three hospitals where the victims were taken told AFP.

Security officials had provided an earlier toll of 11 dead.

The port city, the temporary base of Yemen's Gulf-backed government, has seen a wave of bombings and shootings targeting officials and security forces.

Attacks in Aden are often claimed by militants from either Al-Qaeda or the Daish group, which have both taken advantage of the chaos in Yemen to make gains in southern and southeastern regions.
