Fifth night of suspected US raids on Yemen: security source
Yemen was hit by a fifth consecutive night of suspected US air strikes targeting Al-Qaeda members in the impoverished nation, a Yemeni security source said Monday.
The source said the early dawn raid hit the town of Al-Nasl in the southern Abyan province, which has been the target of air strikes as well as an Al-Qaeda attack on the army in recent days.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in Monday's raid.
Washington on Thursday launched a series of air and drone raids on Yemen, focused on the southern provinces of Abyan and Shabwa as well as Baida, slightly to the north.
The Pentagon has confirmed at least 30 strikes against AQAP since Thursday in coordination with the Yemeni government.
