Gunmen killed a colonel in Yemen’s second city Aden on Friday, a day after the temporary capital’s police chief escaped a suicide bombing.
The unidentified gunmen on a motorbike opened fire at the traffic police chief, Colonel Marwan Abdulalim, as he was in his car going to the weekly Friday prayers in central Aden, a security official said.
The attack is the latest targeting senior officials in Aden, the base of the Saudi-backed regime. Many of the attacks have been claimed by Al-Qaeda or the Islamic State group.
On Thursday, a suicide bomber blew up a vehicle packed with explosives when he was stopped at a checkpoint on the perimeter of the compound around police chief General Shallal Shayae’s house.
Shayae was unharmed in the attack but a security official said one guard was wounded.
