A second strike of the day reportedly hit a “gathering” of al Qaeda fighters in Mukalla, the capital of Hadramout, around three hours after the previous attack in Shabwa. A source “close to Ansar al Sharia” told Mukalla Star the strike hit near the Yemeni army’s 27 Mechanised Brigade’s former headquarters. AQAP took control of the facility in April as it tightened its grip on Mukalla.
