A suicide car bomber killed at least five soldiers in the southern Yemeni city of Aden.

The Sunday attack took place at a checkpoint outside the main security headquarters in Aden killed at least five soldiers in the southern Yemeni city of Aden on Sunday, a security official said in a statement..

The bombing was heard across the city and a plume of smoke could be seen from miles away, residents said.

The port city of Aden is the interim headquarters of Yemen’s internationally recognized government, which had to move there when Houthi rebels took control of the capital, Sanaa, in 2015 during Yemen’s civil war.

More than 9,000 people have been killed in Yemen’s conflict since the Houthis advanced on Aden, forcing President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi him to flee and seek help from Saudi Arabia.

Aden is dominated by Yemeni forces backed by the UAE, a key member of the Saudi-led coalition that intervened in Yemen’s war to restore Hadi.
