>The United States launched an airstrike against an Al-Qaeda training camp in Yemen on 23 March that killed "dozens" of fighters, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has confirmed.

>The DoD said that, while the results of the raid are still being assessed, it "deals a blow to AQAP's [Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's] ability to use Yemen as a base for attacks that threaten US persons, and it demonstrates our commitment to defeating Al-Qaeda and denying it safe haven".

>According to media reports, more than 40 AQAP fighters were killed and almost as many again wounded in the strike that hit the camp in Hajr in the centre of country.

>While no details pertaining to the mission have been disclosed, it is likely that the US aircraft that conducted the strike were operating either out of Djibouti in East Africa or Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath in the UK. Boeing F-15E Strike Eagles operating out of both locations have reportedly been used to target Islamist militants in Libya, Somalia, and Yemen previously.

You know they probably just targeted a phone of some peasant who couldnt afford a new iphone9 so he bought a used one and got his entire family of 'dozens' wiped out.

>our commitment to... denying it safe haven

Not that I'm defending the air strikes but aren't you being a little disingenuous with that selective quoting?

You should've put militants in quotes too. Probably mostly innocents.

The us defines as militant as any arab male ages 16 to 80 or some shit like that.
This is just pure terrorism by the US.

Allied (read: USA) definition of "militants" is any & ALL males between the ages of 13 & 65.
