A blast struck a military graduation parade in Yemen's southern town of al-Dhalea, Yemen's Security Belt forces said in a tweet on Sunday, in an attack witnesses said caused dozens of injuries or deaths. Nine people were reportedly killed. No claim of responsibility was made. Witnesses told Reuters that a blast occurred near a guest platform during the parade and that dozens were injured or killed. The town of al-Dhalea lies on the main south-to-north road linking the interim capital Aden to the capital Sanaa that is controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi militias.
