TOP YEMEN BRASS INJURED IN REBEL DRONE STRIKE DIES

A high-ranking Yemeni intelligence official injured in a Houthi rebel drone attack on the country’s largest air base died of his wounds yesterday, medical sources said. Intelligence Brigadier General Saleh Tamah was wounded on Thursday in a strike on a military parade in Al-Anad air base, in government-held Lahij province some 60 kilometers north of Yemen’s second city Aden. At least seven loyalists, including Tamah, were killed and 11 injured in Thursday’s incident, which threatens to hamper United Nations-led peace efforts.
