Three of the attackers were killed and four guards protecting the convoy were wounded in a gunfight, according to the governor's aide.

Aden has seen a growing jihadist presence, with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, long active in Yemen, and the Islamic State group apparently vying for influence.
