    US drone strike in Yemen kills 8 al-Qaeda fighters

    A US drone strike in Yemen last night (Saturday) killed eight people, Reuters reports. All eight are suspected of belonging to al-Qaeda.

    Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has been gaining control in the country, as Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-backed government are locked in a civil war.

    The US has been targeting the terror group with drone attacks, though US officials have refused to comment on specific strikes.
