A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed six fighters of the UAE-backed militias on the outskirts of the Yemeni city of Aden on Friday, witnesses said.

The suicide bomber struck in Aden’s northern Dar Saad neighbourhood a day after the UAE raised the stakes by carrying out air strikes against the exiled Hadi’s forces in southern Yemen.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack on a patrol of Security Belt forces, a separatist front fighting the Saudi-backed forces for control of the port city.

The UAE said it had carried out “precise and direct” strikes on Thursday on what it called terrorist militias which it said had attacked Saudi-led aggression coalition forces fighting at Aden’s airport.
