A triple suicide bombing on a Saudi-led coalition military camp in southern Yemen killed 22 people on Friday, including civilians, witnesses and medical officials said.
The Daesh affiliate claimed responsibility for the attacks in a short statement carrying the name of the group's news agency, Amaq.
The first suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint, metres away from the camp in the Al Hasswa district of the city of Aden. A spokesman for Aden's security services, Nizar Anwar said that 18 people were killed in the first attack, including civilians. A second bomber drove an ambulance and rammed his vehicle into the rescuers. Four people were killed in this assault, Anwar said.
The third suicide car bomber then detonated his explosives close to the camp as civilians were waiting for roads to reopen, witnesses said. However Anwar said that a coalition jet attacked the car and killed the bomber.
Medical officials said that the death toll is expected to rise and that there were women and children among the victims, but did not give numbers for civilian casualties.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the press.
Abu Bakr Hazem, one of the witnesses, said that he was inside his car near a power station when he saw the ambulance advancing, followed by the explosion. He said that he saw bodies scattered on the ground, including women. A local reporter, Fathi ben Lazek, said that the ambulance tried to cross the checkpoint but was stopped by the guards, and then the suicide bomber blew himself up.
The explosions took place shortly after the leader of the Houthis, Abdul-Malak Al Houthi, delivered his first speech after months in hiding, calling for street rallies to mark the first anniversary of the Saudi-led military campaign against his group. The rallies are due to take place in the city of Sanaa on Saturday.
Al-Houthi also lashed out at the US and Britain for their alleged support for Saudi Arabia's operation against the Houthis, who seized the Yemeni capital in September 2014 .
Earlier this week, the United Nations announced that a cessation of hostilities is due to begin in Yemen on April 10, before talks on April 18.
