ADEN, Yemen, June 27 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from a series of suicide bombing attacks that struck military posts and an intelligence compound in Yemen's southeastern province of Hadramout rose to 40 deaths on Monday, Yemeni officials told Xinhua.


A source of the Fourth Regional Military Command based in Hadramout province said that a series of suicide bombings that targeted military checkpoints in different places in the city of Mukalla left about 40 soldiers killed and several others injured.


""About 40 were killed and dozens others injured according to the medical information coming from three public hospitals in Hadramout about the latest casualty figures of today's attacks,"" the source said.


Witnesses told Xinhua that three military checkpoints and an intelligence compound in the coastal city of Mukalla, Hadramout's provincial capital, were struck by huge blasts simultaneously.


The simultaneous explosions took place while the soldiers were gathering minutes before the time of breaking their day-long fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to witnesses.


An intelligence officer told Xinhua that ""the bombers disguised as distributors of Iftar meals and delivered bombs wrapped up as food to soldiers in some checkpoints in Mukalla.""


Another suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden motorbike and targeted a military intelligence building in the same city, according to the source.


A medical source confirmed to Xinhua saying that hospitals call for urgent blood donations due to the high number of casualties.


The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) claimed responsibility Monday for the four terrorists attacks on Yemeni military posts in Hadramout just minutes following the incidents.


The claim came in a short statement posted via Twitter by the group's semi-official Amaq news agency, the same channel that claimed the Paris, Brussels and Orlando attacks.


The agency affiliated with ISIS claimed that ""the jihadist operations killed more than 54 soldiers of the counter-terrorism units and the elite forces in Hadramout.""


The Yemeni government forces launched anti-terror offensives and drived out scores of gunmen linked to the al-Qaida and the Yemen-based affiliate of the Islamic State from key neighborhoods and government compounds in Lahj and Abyan provinces in the last two months. Enditem

FREEDOM of navigation patrols carried out by foreign navies in the South China Sea could end “in disaster Jared Cook Jersey ,” a senior Chinese admiral has said, a warning to the United States.


China has refused to recognize a ruling over China’s claim in South China Sea by an arbitration court in The Hague and did not take part in the proceedings brought by the Philippines.


China has repeatedly blamed the US for stirring up trouble in the South China Sea, a strategic waterway through which more than US$5 trillion of trade moves annually.


The US has conducted so-called “freedom of navigation” patrols close to Chinese islands, to Beijing’s anger, while China has been bolstering its military presence there.


Speaking behind closed doors at a forum in Beijing on Saturday, Sun Jianguo, an admiral and deputy chief of the joint staff department of the Central Military Commission, said the freedom of navigation issue was a bogus one that certain countries repeatedly hyped up.


“When has freedom of navigation in the South China Sea ever been affected? It has not, whether in the past or now, and in the future there won’t be a problem as long as nobody plays tricks,” he said.


China is the biggest beneficiary of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and won’t let anybody damage it, Sun said.


“But China consistently opposes so-called military freedom of navigation which brings with it a military threat, and which challenges and disrespects the international law of the sea,” Sun said.


“This kind of military freedom of navigation is damaging to freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and it could even play out in a disastrous way,” he added, without elaborating.


He said the court case at The Hague must be used by China’s armed forces to improve its capabilities “so that when push comes to shove, the military can play a decisive role in the last moment to defend our national sovereignty and interests.”


Despite the warnings, China and the US have been maintaining open lines of communication (see “Navy chief” on A3), with US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson meeting the head of the Chinese navy Admiral Wu Shengli in Beijing.


“I think that you can visit China this time at our invitation, that shows both sides attach great concern to maritime security,” Wu told Richardson in brief comments in front of reporters.


Separately, China’s Maritime Safety Administration said yesterday that an area just off the east of the island province of Hainan would be a no-sail zone from today to Thursday while military drills take place.


China describes its exercises in the South China Sea as routine.


China’s air force also said on its microblog it had recently carried out “normal battle patrols” over the South China Sea involving bombers, spy planes and flying tankers, including over the Huangyan Islands.

They distinguish and concentrate on child’s academic or character issues with guidance and address their problems at the initial period of their life. Primary school learning is the perfect platfo.
