No rest for the weary.

The US launched yet another airstrike in Yemen, killing two al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula operatives in a strike on a vehicle in southern Yemen. The strike, which took place late last night, is the latest in a flurry of attacks by the US in the past two weeks after a seven-week pause in strikes.

The strike, which took place in the southern province of Lahj, targeted a vehicle as it traveled “on a mountain road late on Saturday evening,” Reuters reported. The vehicle was “believed to be carrying arms and its occupants were suspected members of al Qaeda.”

No senior al Qaeda operatives or leaders are reported to have been killed at this time. The identities of the two al Qaeda operatives who were killed have not been disclosed. Two people were wounded and another escaped uninjured, AFP reported.

Today’s strike in Lahj is the first reported in the southern province. The Al Anad airbase in Lahj has long been known to host the Reapers that are used to hunt al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula leaders and fighters in Yemen.
