The police statement said that several suspects had been detained for questioning, but gave no further details.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Aden is the interim home of the internationally recognised government, which is part of a coalition backed by Saudi Arabia that intervened in Yemen after the Houthi rebels ousted the government from the capital, Sanaa, in late 2014.
The eight-year conflict has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions suffering from hunger.
