Five soldiers of the Yemeni army officers were killed in an attack held by Al-Qaeda and targeted a checkpoint in Abyan province, southern Yemen, while the United States continued its air strikes against Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) sites for the fourth consecutive day, while AQAP militants dominated checkpoint located on the road leading to Lawdar City, the second largest city in the province of Abyan.
US air strikes continued against al-Qaeda in Yemen for the fourth day and targeted locations in Bayda and Shabwa provinces, while two AQAP suspects were killed in Abyan, southern Yemen late Saturday in a raid by US unmanned aircraft. A security official said, "the raid, which occurred in Ahwar area, south of Abyan province, killed two extremists on a motorcycle."
Security sources confirmed that US aircraft targeted early Sunday with five strikes mountainous areas which Ahbm and prepared and Almsh in as said district in Shabwa, while bombed US aircraft again Jaar village in the silo Directorate in the province of white and the other targeted the village of Al Ghail, "as long aerial bombardment, according to the same sources , "village Ichaela in white."
Tribal sources indicated that the organization "emptied many of the homes of its members in all areas targeted to the mountainous areas in Shabwa and white after the US strikes," continues Washington for years, carry out air raids drone targeted organization branch in Yemen, which is considered the most dangerous, but the pace of raids have increased in recent months.
The United States conducted a second round of airstrikes against an al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen overnight, the Pentagon said Friday, bringing the number of strikes against the terrorist group to more than 30 in the last 48 hours.
"US forces conducted additional precision strikes in Yemen against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula," according to Lt. Col. Michelle Baldanza, a Department of Defense spokesman.
The strikes were intended to "maintain pressure against the terrorists' network and infrastructure in the region," Baldanza added.
On Thursday, the US launched 20 airstrikes against the group. No civilian casualties were reported from either of the two strikes, US officials said.
Both day's actions struck multiple locations and targeted militants, equipment, infrastructure, heavy weapons systems and fighting positions in the Abyan, Shabwa and Baydha regions of Yemen.
Two US officials said that manned and unmanned aircraft were used and that the military assesses that al Qaeda personnel were killed.
At least one strike on Thursday targeted a so-called "high value" al Qaeda member, but it remains unclear whether the US will announce the name of the person and whether officials believe he was killed in the operation.
"The strikes were conducted in partnership with the government of Yemen," Davis said in a statement Thursday.
Davis added that they aimed to degrade the terror group's "ability to coordinate external terror attacks and limit their ability to use territory seized from the legitimate government of Yemen as a safe space for terror plotting."
The strikes are the first ones to target the Yemen-based terror group since the deadly January raid in Baydha that left Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens dead and several other service members wounded.
