A car bombing claimed by the so-called 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant' takfiri group killed four people near a mosque in the capital Sanaa.

Children were among eight people wounded in the Monday evening blast, Yemen's Saba news agency said.

ISIL terrorists have carried out a string of deadly attacks against Yemeni targets since the Saudi-US aggression started in March.

The national military in Yemen also lost 11 fighters in other attacks in the capital overnight, medics and witnesses said.

Six were killed in a shooting at a checkpoint near the central bank. Five were killed in a car bombing against a police station in the Al-Hassaba district in the north of the city.

The attacks came as the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees drove al-Qaeda group and other takfiri operatives out of the second city of Aden.

Riyadh launched airstrikes against Yemen on March 26 without a UN mandate. Saudi Arabia aims to undermine the Ansarullah popular fighters and restore power to fugitive President Mansour Hadi.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

The Saudi-US aggression has so far claimed the lives of at least 5,122 people, mostly women and children.
