US drones struck yet again in Yemen’s eastern province of Hadramout today, killing six “Islamist militants” in a strike on a compound. Today’s strike is the fourth in Yemen in eight days.
The unmanned Predators or Reapers fired eight missiles at a compound in the Wadi al Ain area of Hadramout province, killing six al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula operatives, Yemeni officials told Reuters.
The exact target of today’s strike has not been disclosed; no senior AQAP leaders have been reported killed in the attack. The large number of missiles fired at the target indicates the US was hunting a senior AQAP leader or an important operative.
US drones have zeroed in on Hadramout province over the past month. Of the seven strikes that have been recorded since the beginning of August, five have taken place in the eastern province.
