Two or three people were reportedly killed in a suspected US drone strike in southern Yemen. The attack destroyed the vehicle and killed the occupants – described as militants in the reporting. The strike reportedly hit at night, increasing the probability it was a US strike as the Yemen Air Force is incapable of flying at night, besides hit a moving target at night.
