A bomb killed four Hadi loyalists on Wednesday in Yemen’s second city Aden, where extremists have repeatedly targeted security forces, a security official said.
Another six officers were wounded in the blast in the southern port city where the Saudi-backed regime has its base, the official told AFP.
Despite a 16-month-old Saudi-led military aggression, the Hadi regime has struggled to secure the city.
On Friday, a suicide bombing claimed by Al-Qaeda hit the convoy of Aden governor Aidarus al-Zubaidi, wounding three people travelling with him.
The extremists also claimed two suicide bombings on Monday that killed 11 people in two of their former strongholds in the southeast.
Earlier this year, the Saudi-led coalition launched a major offensive against Al-Qaeda, helping to recapture the Hadramawt provincial capital of Mukalla in April after a year of extremist rule.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
Yemeni forces have been engaged in retaliatory attacks against the Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
