A possible US drone strike killed two people, according to a tribal source quoted by AFP. The overnight strike was said to have targeted a vehicle in the southern province of Shabwa. The source said that both people were members of al Qaeda. An AQAP told the Bureau the strike took place but did not have any details on the casualties.

On April 24 the Washington Post confirmed this was a US strike when it reported unnamed officials “said that JSOC was responsible for strikes in Yemen over the past week.”
