At least five killed in blast targeting military parade in Yemen

Al Jazeera  

No claim of responsibility for attack on military graduation that wounded eight people in southern town of al-Dhalea. At least five people have died after an explosion at a military graduation parade in Yemen‘s southern town of al-Dhalea, Yemen’s Security Belt forces said. The Security Belt forces are part of a southern separatist front in southern Yemen and are backed by the United Arab Emirates in the fight against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group. Al Jazeera’s Mohammed al-Attab, reporting from the capital Sanaa, said that al-Dhalea is a “battlefield” between the Houthis and the internationally-recognised government forces. “But al-Qaeda is also active in the area.” Meanwhile, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria on Sunday said six “sensitive” places in Saudi Arabia and three in the UAE are on a list of military targets, suggesting the group remains prepared to fight on despite informal talks about a truce in Yemen’s war.
