Yemeni Militants Kill Soldiers, Loot Base of Heavy Weapons

A Yemen army outpost in the country’s south was overwhelmed by Islamic militants who killed dozens of soldiers and looted the base of its heavy weaponry and armored vehicles

The attack on the Al Koud base left 103 soldiers and 25 militants dead, Agence France-Presse reported, citing the army hospital in Aden. An army official, declining to be identified because he’s not authorized to speak to media, said earlier that about 60 soldiers were killed and dozens more captured and taken to the city of Jaar, which is under the militants’ control.
