Sanaa: At least four Yemeni soldiers were killed and four others injured in a suicide attack near a check-post in south of Yemen, media reported on Tuesday.
The reports added that a suicide bomber detonated a vehicle laden with explosives near a checkpoint in the south of the country killing and injuring four policemen.
Al Qaeda-linked group, ‘Ansar al Sharia’ has claimed the responsibility of attack and referred that the attack was in revenge for recent air strikes on al-Bayda and Abyan provinces, which it blamed on U.S. drones.
It is to be mentioned here that the situation remained tense in the Yeman after the militant group killed at least 185 Yemini soldiers while several militants were targeted in the drone and jet air strikes by US and Yemini Army.
