A suspected U.S. drone strike killed two men believed to be al-Qaeda militants in central Yemen, local officials said early on Monday, hours after American commandos carried out the first military operation authorized by President Donald Trump. A U.S. commando died and three were wounded during a dawn raid on Sunday in the rural Yakla district of central Yemen's al-Bayda province. The U.S. military also said that at least 14 suspected al Qaeda militants were killed. "My deepest thoughts and humblest prayers are with the family of this fallen service member," he said. Nasser al-Awlaki told The Associated Press that Anwaar was visiting her mother when the raid took place.
