At least four soldiers were injured Saturday when unknown gunmen attacked the general security headquarters in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, a security source said.

"A bomb exploded at the main gate of the building, leaving four soldiers wounded, two of them seriously," the source told the independent Yemeni website Adenalghad, DPA reported.

Following the bombing, clashes erupted between the assailants and government forces, the site quoted witnesses as saying. There were no reports about casualties from the clashes.

Aden has recently seen an upsurge in violence targeting security personnel.

On Friday, a senior police official was killed in Aden in an ambush that the authorities blamed on al-Qaeda.
