Suicide bombing claimed by Daesh kills 25 Yemen police recruits

It marked the second deadly blast to hit the city.

A suicide bomber killed at least 25 Yemeni police recruits in the southeastern port city of Mukalla on Sunday, medics said, the second attack this week claimed by the Daesh group.
They said that hospitals in the city were also treating at least 25 people wounded in the attack.
The bomber detonated an explosives belt as he joined a line of men at a police recruitment centre in the city that government forces recaptured last month after a year of Al Qaeda rule, a provincial official said.
It marked the second deadly blast to hit the city, which was a hub for Al Qaeda before the group was pushed out in a military offensive last month.
In a message on its online news agency Amaq, Daesh said the attacker was a "martrydom-seeker" who had detonated his explosive belt.
