ADEN: A strike by an unmanned drone killed five suspected members of al Qaeda in eastern Yemen on Wednesday, a security official said.
"Five al Qaeda members were killed in the raid" that targeted a house in the village of Al-Ain in Hadramawt province, the official said, requesting anonymity.
He said two middle-ranking members of the local branch of al Qaeda were among the dead.
The United States is the only country that has drones in the region and in recent months has been carrying out strikes on al Qaeda targets in the south and east of the country and in the Arabian Peninsula.
