Sanaa, Yemen (CNN)A suicide car bomber attacked a checkpoint near a military base in southern Yemen on Wednesday, killing ten soldiers, local security officials said.

The attack in Aden left eight others injured, according to three local security officials. It targeted a checkpoint outside the Al Solban military base.

After the bomb, a group of militants raided the base, leading to hours of clashes from within the facility. Dozens of rocket-propelled grenade rockets were launched at the base.

The attackers were dressed as government soldiers, allowing them to seize control of a military building inside the base, officials said.
