Clashes between Yemeni troops and secessionist militants killed four people Friday in southern Yemen, two of them soldiers, sources on both sides said.
The fighting broke out when the militants ambushed a military vehicle, killing the soldiers and wounding four others, a military source told AFP.
Two militants died in the fighting in the town of Daleh, said Abderrahim al-Naqib, from the Southern Movement, accusing the army of bombing residential areas and a hospital.
Naqib said a third militant was “clinically dead” and 21 fighters wounded.
