SANAA: Al-Qaeda militants killed 10 Yemeni soldiers in three simultaneous attacks Thursday on army positions in the central province of Bayda, a military official said.
“Al-Qaeda assailants carried out simultaneous attacks against three military positions in Rada” in Bayda, an extremist stronghold, the official told AFP.
Ten soldiers were killed and others wounded, while some of the attackers also died, including one wearing an explosive belt who was killed by soldiers. The attacks were followed by clashes between the army and gunmen.
In December, a drone attack killed 17 people, mostly civilians in a wedding motorcade in Rada, triggering condemnation of drones operated in the region by the United States and sparking protests in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula country.
