Saudi-led coalition air strikes hit an al Qaeda training camp in the network's south-eastern Yemen stronghold on Tuesday, killing and wounding dozens, government officials in the region said. "An Arab coalition air force targeted an al Qaeda training camp, killing and wounding dozens" in Hajr, west of Hadramawt's provincial capital Mukalla which has been held by the jihadists since April.
Tribal sources in the area told AFP that a series of air strikes hit the camp and that wounded militants were taken to a hospital in Mukalla. Witnesses there reported seeing around nine vehicles carrying casualties from the area. Dozens of al Qaeda militants were meanwhile seen rushing to the hospital to donate blood, according to residents.
