2 Yemen soldiers killed while escorting UN convoy
Two pro-government Yemeni soldiers have been killed in an ambush while escorting a United Nations official convoy in eastern Yemen, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said yesterday. The IOM spokesperson told Russia Today (RT) that the two soldiers were killed while escorting a convoy traveling west from Yemen's Seiyun to Marib. "No IOM staff, who were on an unspecified humanitarian mission , were injured in the attack," the spokesperson added. The Associated Press quoted the region's tribal leader and a UN official as saying that the ambush took place near Al-Abr town in Yemen's eastern province of Hadhramaut.
