IS Bombs kill dozens in port city of Mukalla, Yemen

An offshoot of al-Qaeda controlled the port city of Mukalla until recently.

Triple bomb attacks claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group have killed at least 35 people and injured 24 in Yemen’s south-eastern city of Mukalla.

The militants struck at sunset as soldiers were preparing to break their day-long fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, officials say.

The attacks involved a suicide bomber, a car bomb and an improvised explosive device.
