At least 2 killed in US drone strike in Yemen

At least two people have been killed and three others injured in a US drone strike in Yemen’s southern Shabwa Province.

Some sources say three were killed in Monday’s drone attack.

The strike comes two days after a similar US drone attack targeted Shabwa’s Bihan region, killing three people.

Washington has continued its so-called fight against militancy in Yemen in recent weeks, despite the country’s current political crisis.

Washington claims that the drones target al-Qaeda militants, but local sources say civilians have been the main victims of the airstrikes.

According to Human Rights Watch, the US drone strikes in Yemen have led to the deaths of many civilians over the past few years in a blatant violation of international law.
