A suicide bomber has killed at least 43 people in a blast near a military camp in the southern Yemen city of Aden.
Officials said the dead were soldiers who had gathered to collect their salaries, while medics were among at least 60 wounded people.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The camp is the same site targeted by a suicide bomber on 10 December, when at least 45 soldiers were killed and at least 50 injured.
Islamic State militants have claimed responsibility for that attack and others as they take advantage of Yemen's civil war between the government and Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, which has killed thousands of people.
Aden remains under the control of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and his internationally recognised government in exile in Saudi Arabia.
They are fighting the Shia rebels who took over Sanaa, the capital, in 2014 and have since occupied much of the north of the country.
A coalition led by Saudi Arabia joined the fight against the rebels in 2015 but has failed to force them out of Sanaa.
Thousands of coalition airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians as the population struggles against starvation and disease.
Britain has assisted the Saudis in selecting targets, which the Ministry of Defence has insisted is to ensure the country complies with the rules of war.
The UK is also a massive exporter of arms to Saudi Arabia and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has previously said sales would continue because there was no evidence weapons were being used in contravention of international law.
