ADEN, Ramadan 30, 1435, July 27, 2014, SPA -- Militant attacks on two army outposts in southern Yemen killed at least eight people early on Sunday, local officials said. On Sunday morning two outposts in Mahfad were attacked by men driving car bombs followed by shooting. A bomb-laden car was driven towards each of the two outposts, but both exploded before reaching them after soldiers opened fire. There were subsequent exchanges of fire between militants and army members. A local security official told Reuters two militants had been killed by explosions while driving the cars and another five in the later shooting. Four soldiers also died, he said. --SPA 13:55 LOCAL TIME 10:55 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
