Dozens Killed as Two Attacks Rattle Yemen's Port City of Aden
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, dozens of people were killed Thursday in two separate attacks
in the southern port city of Aden. In the first attack, suicide bombers
targeted a police station, killing 11 people. The self-proclaimed
Islamic State's affiliate in Yemen later claimed responsibility. Later,
in a separate attack, Houthi rebels fired a missile into a military
parade, killing at least 40 government troops. The aid group Save the
Children says the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war in Yemen has sparked a food
crisis that's led as many as 85,000 children to starve to death since
fighting began in 2015.
