At Least 17 Militants Killed In Southern Yemen: Witnesses

Air strikes killed at least 17 suspected al-Qaeda militants overnight in a restive district in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden, witnesses, medics and a security official said on Sunday.

The air strikes hit al-Mansoura district, a stronghold for militants and an area which has witnessed several attacks against local security officials since the Saudi-led coalition retook Aden last July from the Iran-allied Houthi militia.
