Yemen seizes port town from al Qaeda
Yemeni troops on Sunday seized the country's Mukalla seaport from al Qaeda fighters. Around 2,000 Yemeni and Emirati troops advanced into Mukalla, officials said. According to reports, local clerics had been in talks with the terror group to exit quietly. This comes after 30 al Qaeda fighters were killed in Mukalla on the same day in Saudi-led coalition air strikes.
