SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Secessionist rebels attacked a Yemeni army truck carrying food to a unit in the southern Dali province on Tuesday, killing seven soldiers and wounding nine, Yemen’s Defense Ministry said.
An opposition leader in the southern secessionist movement, Ali al-Saya, told The Associated Press by telephone from Dali that the clashes were prompted by the army’s 33rd brigade random shelling of three districts in Dali that destroyed five houses and killed six people including a child.
