Double airstrikes target two cars in Yemen’s Hadramout, leaving casualties

HADRAMOUT, April 13 (YPA) – An unidentified drone, believed to be American, carried out a double strike on two vehicles in Hadramout province, which is under the Saudi-led coalition’s control in eastern Yemen.

Media sources reported that the attack occurred Sunday afternoon on the Al-Abr road. Two missiles directly hit the first vehicle, killing a person inside and completely charring his body. The person’s identity has not yet been determined.

The sources explained that the second car, which was carrying three people, managed to flee towards the Al-Abr-Shabwa Junction, and they were likely to belong to Al-Qaeda.

Another airstrike targeted a person who was walking on foot near one of the hangars in the Al-Amiriyah area after Al-Abr Market towards Old Al-Abr, which led to his immediate death without his identity being identified, according to the sources.

The sources indicated that the area extending from across Shabwa to Bin Aifan Junction has witnessed intense activity of unidentified drones during the past days, which reinforces doubts about the possibility of the United States’ involvement in these operations.

This attack follows a similar attack on Saturday that targeted a car in Ataq, the capital of Shabwa province. The attack resulted in the burning and destruction of the vehicle and the charring of the body of an unidentified person, amidst a continued secrecy surrounding the parties carrying out the raids in these areas.
