SANAA: An airstrike killed 13 suspected Al-Qaeda militants in the central Yemeni province of Al-Bayda on Saturday, sources said.

“An airstrike targeted cars that suspected Al-Qaeda militants were in and killed 13 of them in the Sawma’a area of Al-Bayda,” a source said.

The tribal sources said a drone had been circling Al-Bayda for days and on Saturday struck two cars the suspected militants were in. Three civilians who happened to be in a nearby car were also killed, they said.

Nasser Salem, a witness who arrived at the scene after the strike, said: “We found a completely burnt car and body parts strewn around and we started picking them up.”
