Two suspected members of Yemen's al-Qaeda were killed on Tuesday (March 14th) in an air raid on the southern Hadramaut province, AFP reported.
A security official said the two men killed in the airstrike went by the names Abu Jandal al-Hadrami and Abu Hashim al-Sharuri.
At least 25 suspected members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) have been killed in airstrikes this month.
More than two years of civil war in Yemen have created a power vacuum which AQAP has exploited to consolidate its presence in the south and east.
Hadramaut is under government control, but AQAP continues to hold limited sway in the province.
