At least 19 people have been killed and 15 others sustained injuries after multiple coordinated bomb attacks rocked the southeastern Yemeni port of Mukalla.
The casualties were caused after three simultaneous bombings hit security checkpoints in the coastal city, a former al-Qaeda stronghold in the Arab country, on Monday.
The triple bombings were followed by a fourth which struck the entrance of an army camp in the troubled region.
Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, which is mainly wreaking havoc in Syria and Iraq, has claimed responsibility for the fatal attacks via online Amaq news agency, which is affiliated to the terror group.
In mid-May, at least 47 Yemeni police recruits loyal to the former Saudi-backed government were killed in a bomb attack in Mukalla, the capital of the vast desert province of Hadhramaut. The attacker set off his explosives as the recruits were lining up at a military base in Mukalla’s Foua suburb on May 15.
Sixty people were also wounded in the attack, which was claimed by the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.
