Aden - In a recent escalation of efforts to combat terrorism in Yemen, the United States conducted a series of drone strikes targeting Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) operatives. 

The strikes, which took place over the past week, resulted in the elimination of several high-ranking AQAP leaders and the destruction of key militant infrastructure.

The operation was part of a broader strategy to dismantle terrorist networks in the region and was carried out with precision to minimize civilian casualties. 

Despite the success of the strikes, the situation remains volatile, with ongoing clashes between US forces and AQAP militants.

Local authorities have praised the US for its decisive action, while also urging continued vigilance to prevent further terrorist activities in the region.
