The joint Yemeni forces launched a military operation to confront the terrorist organization “Al-Qaeda” in Shabwa Governorate, while the organization launched an attack in Shabwa, wounding 4 soldiers.

In the meantime, the terrorist organization launched an attack carried out by a drone, “unmanned”, targeting a security checkpoint in Shabwa Governorate, seriously wounding 4 soldiers.
A security source said that an “al-Qaeda” drone bombed the “Al-Qina” checkpoint in the town of “Al-Musina’a” in the Al-Saeed district, in the west of the governorate. According to the source, the attack resulted in the injury of 4 soldiers who were present at the security checkpoint.
The terrorist attack in Al-Musaina came 3 days after an armed attack targeted the same security site, which resulted in two deaths and two injuries.
