ADEN: Gunmen ambushed a Yemeni army vehicle carrying ammunition to troops in a southeastern Al Qaeda bastion, killing a soldier and wounding three, a security official said.
The unknown assailants, who were parked in a car on the side of a road in the town of Taryam in Hadramawt province, opened fire at the vehicle as it passed by, the official said.
Troops from a nearby military camp then clashed with the attackers, who managed to flee, he added.
Yemen has seen regular attacks on its security forces, usually blamed on the local franchise of Al Qaeda, which remains active in the south and east.
