As many as eight others were wounded in the attack in the city of Aden on Tuesday.

The attack is believed to have targeted army recruits waiting for buses at a military checkpoint near the stadium, reports say.

No terror group has taken responsibility for the attack.

The attack comes during a ceasefire aimed to end a war in the country between battling regional powers Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The conflict has been ongoing for more than a year, in which at least 6,200 Yemenis have been killed.

A UN spokeswoman said on Monday the truce appeared to be holding despite "pockets of violence".
