Airstrikes kill 5 al-Qaeda suspects in Yemen

Five suspected al-Qaeda members were killed in two overnight airstrikes in Yemen, AFP reported Wednesday (April 19th).

One strike hit a vehicle in the southern province of Shabwa, killing two suspected militants, military sources said.

A second hit a car in Marib province, east of Sanaa, killing three, they added.

Both Shabwa and Marib are largely held by Yemeni forces, but al-Qaeda has taken advantage of fighting between them and the Houthis (Ansarallah) to step up its presence.
