One source, @adammbaron, suggested that US airstrikes targeted alleged AQAP militants in Wade’a district, Abyan governorate, late on March 31st. Other sources reported that a US drone strike took place in Modia district, which is accounted for in USYEMTr061 – though no other known sources reported strikes in Al Wade’a. There were no known associated reports of civilian harm, nor of alleged militant casualties, in the claimed strikes.<\/p>\n
@adammbaron tweeted that this was the third consecutive night of US air strikes in the area.<\/p>\n
This reported event took place amid a dramatic intensification of US operations against AQAP in March 2017. On April 3rd, Pentagon spokesperson Captain Jeff Davis said that, from February 28th to the final week of March, fifty US airstrikes were conducted in Yemen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","country":[435],"belligerent":[430],"strike_type":[431],"cause_of_death":[448],"targeted_belligerents":[491],"strike_status":[833],"civilian_harm_reported":[835],"civilian_harm_status":[],"belligerent_assessment":[868],"geolocation_assessor":[],"declassified_document":[900],"geolocation_status":[],"observation":[],"munition":[],"casualty":[],"impact":[],"civilian_infrastructure":[],"documentation":[],"citation":[],"class_list":["post-68043","civ","type-civ","status-publish","hentry","country-yemen","belligerent-us-forces","strike_type-airstrike","cause_of_death-heavy-weapons-and-explosive-munitions","targeted_belligerents-al-qaeda-in-the-arabian-peninsula-aqap","strike_status-single-source-claim","civilian_harm_reported-no","belligerent_assessment-not-yet-assessed","declassified_document-no"],"acf":{"latitude":13.713333,"longitude":46.011944,"geolocation_accuracy":"district","multiple_location_incident":null,"geolocations":[{"latitude":13.713333,"longitude":46.011944,"geolocation_accuracy":"district","primary_coordinate":true}],"geojson":null,"show_geolocation_caption":false,"geojson_caption":"","media_geolocation":[{"media_image":68049,"media_date_taken":null,"media_time_taken":"","media_resolution":"","media_source":"Google Earth"}],"geolocation_notes":"Reports of the incident mention the Al Wade\u2019a (\u0627\u0644\u0648\u0636\u064a\u0639) district, for which the generic coordinates are: 13.713333, 46.011944.
