A strike has killed three suspected al-Qaeda members in southern Yemen, local security sources said Wednesday (December 21st).
The strike on Tuesday night targeted a vehicle in Shabwa province and incinerated three suspected jihadists, one of the sources said, according to AFP.
AQAP and the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL) have exploited a power vacuum created by the conflict between the government and the Houthis (Ansarallah) to expand their presence in Yemen, especially in the south and south-east.
