They said the drone strike, believed to have been carried out by the United States, targeted a car near the village of Beit Al-Ahmar in the Sanhan region, 15 km southeast of Sana’a.
Three people were killed and two wounded, they said. Among the dead was Adnan Al-Qadhi, a former jihadist fighter in Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda member wanted for a 2008 car bomb attack on the US embassy that killed six Yemeni soldiers and four civilians.
