The U.S. military is deepening its involvement in Yemen, with escalating counterterrorism strikes targeting an al-Qaeda affiliate that?s gained ground in the chaos of the country?s civil war.
Intensive Air RaidsLocal media reported intensive U.S. air raids, from drones and warplanes, in Abyan, Shabwa and al-Baidha provinces with several al-Qaeda militants being killed.
Saturday, a U.S. drone strike in Ahwar, in Abyan province, killed two suspected al-Qaeda members on a motorbike, the news website Al-Monitor reported.
U.S. forces go ?in and out of Yemen? to support partner forces, he said, without providing details on the number or location of troops.
