Children were among eight people wounded in the Monday evening blast, the rebel-controlled Saba news agency said.
The Sunni extremists of IS have carried out a string of deadly attacks against Shiite targets in Yemen since March.

Six were killed in a shooting at a checkpoint near the central bank. Five were killed in a car bombing against a police station in the Al-Hassaba district in the north of the city.
