A suicide bomber in southern Yemen gravely wounded three members of the separatist Southern Movement on Friday in an attack in Lahij province, the group and a local official said.
The bomber detonated an explosives belt as activists' cars headed for the port of Aden for a demonstration on Saturday marking the independence of the former South Yemen.
A Southern Movement source said the attack took place in Al-Askariya district of Lahij.
The bomber was killed "and three members of the Southern Movement were gravely wounded and evacuated towards Aden to be hospitalized", the source said.
A local official confirmed to AFP that three people had been seriously wounded in the attack, for which there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
