At least 35 people have been killed in an attack by the Houthi movement on a military parade in Yemen.

The parade in the southern port city of Aden was targeted by missiles and an armed drone, a Houthi-run TV channel said on Thursday.

Earlier, 10 people were killed and 20 others were injured in a suicide bombing at a police station in Aden’s Sheikh Othman area. It is not clear if the two attacks are linked.

The city is the seat of power for Yemen’s internationally recognised government, which is in the midst of conflict with the Iran-backed rebel Houthis who control the capital, Sanaa, and most of the country’s north.

After being forced out of Sanaa in 2014, the Saudi-and-UAE-backed government faces danger from increasingly ambitious rebels.
