ADEN, July 18 (Reuters) - A car bomb exploded on Monday at a checkpoint in Yemen's Hadramout province, near the Arabian Sea port city of Mukalla, killing two soldiers and wounding one, witnesses told Reuters.
A second explosion rocked another military checkpoint also west of Mukalla, killing two soldiers, a security official and witnesses said.
The second Mukalla blast came when a suicide bomber detonated a car bomb at a military checkpoint at the western entrance of the city, they said.
