Alwaght- At least 32 civilian worshipers have been kills as twin suicide bombings, claimed by the ISIS terrorist group, targeted a Mosque in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.
According to Yemen’s Health Ministry, many  people were also injured after the two blasts targeting the al-Moayed Mosque in the Yemeni capital.
The second blast took place when people  responding to the attack had arrived to attend to the victims of the first explosion.
Security sources say that a suicide bomber was involved in the terrorist attack, noting that he was wearing an explosive belt and targeted worshipers leaving the mosque in the northern Jarraf district.
A bomb-laden vehicle then exploded, targeting the first aid volunteers who rushed to the scene to aid the injured people.
The ISIS terrorist group which has claimed similar bombings in the past, said a man named Qusai al-Sanaani blew himself inside the mosque and that a bomb-laden vehicle parked nearby subsequently exploded.
In a similar incident in June, a car bomb exploded near the Shiite mosque of Qubat al-Mahdi Mosque in the Old City of Sana’a, killing three people and injuring seven others. The ISIS terrorist group also claimed that deadly bomb attack, saying it targeted the Ansarullah movement.
The mosque attack comes amid a brutal Saudi aggression against Yemen, which is in its sixth month, is an attempt to undermine Ansarullah movement and to restore power to fugitive former Lebanese President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
Local sources say over 5,500 have been killed and many more injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them being civilians especially women and children.
A significant number of governmental buildings, schools, shops, gas stations, markets, stadiums and mosques have been destroyed in the brutal Saudi attacks which have been described by human rights organizations as war crimes.
