The two blasts reportedly ripped through the Yemeni southern city on Saturday, killing and injuring local residents.

According to Jumhouriya hospital officials in Aden, dozens of people were either killed or wounded in the explosions. They said that five bodies – mostly troops – had been transported to the medical institution along with a number of wounded people, including civilians.

An Al Arabiya correspondent in the city reported that most of those killed were civilians.

Al Arabiya also reported that a car bomb detonated on a highway near the entrance into an anti-terrorist camp that is located in the Al-Tawahi district in the south of the city.

The social media users are uploading pictures of the city of Aden after the explosions that hit the area near the Southern Transitional Council. The photos show plumes of smoke as well as a car in flames.
