Aden: Four Yemeni soldiers and five assailants were killed in an Al-Qaeda attack on a military base in the southern province of Abyan on Monday, a security source said.
A car rigged with explosives carrying five Al-Qaeda militants pulled up to a military base in the district of Mudiya in Abyan, the source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Four men wearing explosive belts ran out of the car towards the base, but were all shot dead before they could blow themselves up, the source said.
The vehicle then exploded outside the base, killing the driver and four soldiers from a UAE-backed contingent in the Yemeni army. Nine soldiers were also wounded.
Yemen´s southern provinces, including Abyan, have seen a long-running US drone war against Al-Qaeda´s Yemeni branch.
