A car bomb targeting a top provincial security official in the southern Yemen city of Aden killed four people Wednesday and wounded 10 others, Yemeni officials said.
A car carrying explosives detonated while the convoy of a security official from a neighbouring province was driving by, the officials said. Three of his guards were wounded, but the dead were all civilians.
The top security official for Lahj province Brig. Saleh Sayed was not seriously hurt, added the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media.
Videos from the scene showed the dead and injured lying in a minibus, while a cloud of black smoke rose from the explosion site.
