Aug 17 Suicide attack devastates Yemen's peace

In Yemen's Abyan province, a devastating suicide attack has shattered the fragile peace. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for a bombing that killed 16 pro-government soldiers and wounded 18 others. The attacker drove an explosives-laden vehicle into a military post, striking a blow to the Southern Transitional Council forces.

This attack is part of AQAP's ongoing campaign in southern Yemen, exploiting the chaos of a nine-year conflict between Houthi rebels and a Saudi-led coalition. Despite a ceasefire and diplomatic efforts, violence persists, with AQAP's new leader Saad al-Awlaki continuing the group's deadly operations.

Did you know that this conflict has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with a staggering 80% of Yemen's population now dependent on aid?. Subscribe for more Now News. #YemenConflict #AQAP #HumanitarianCrisis #shorts
