At least 13 people were killed in two government air strikes in Yemen this weekend, according to Reuters.

The Defense Ministry reported that the strikes targeted Al Qaeda-affiliated training camps in the mountainous areas of southern Yemen.

A number of militants were killed in the Sunday strike, and at least 10 were killed in an earlier strike Saturday. Three nearby civilians were also killed.
