Seven suspected al-Qaeda members were killed Friday when a drone targeted their car in the southern Yemeni province of Shabwa, a security official said.
The car was hit as it drove along a side road in Shabwa's Bihan district, the official from forces loyal to the legitimate government, told Agence France Presse.
The security official said the militants were members of al-Qaeda, adding the aircraft that carried out the strike was American.
