Al-Malki said the attack, which also wounded one officer, occurred at a training camp for Yemeni forces in the eastern city of Seiyun in the Hadhramaut province.
He added that the coalition and Yemeni authorities will jointly investigate the incident to determine motives behind the attack and bring the perpetrator to justice.
