At least 71 people were killed and 98 wounded when an Islamic State group rammed his explosives-laden car into an army recruiting centre in Aden in Yemen, yesterday. The Islamic State has claimed the responsibility for the attack, considered to be deadliest for the past one year.

The army, supported by a Saudi-led coalition, is training young recruits to join its nationwide war against Huthi rebels and their allies. Officials said, although the complex was locked as recruits registered inside, the attacker drove in when the gate was opened for a delivery vehicle.
