One US service member killed, 3 injured in raid on Al Qaeda in Yemen
One U.S. service member was killed and three were wounded in a raid against a group of senior Al Qaeda leaders in central Yemen, officials said.
The U.S. Central Command said in a statement Sunday that another service member was injured in a "hard landing" in a nearby location.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our elite servicemembers,” Commander of U.S. Central Command Gen. Joseph Votel said in a statement. “The sacrifices are very profound in our fight against terrorists who threaten innocent peoples across the globe.”
An Osprey aircraft used in the raid was unable to fly afterward and "was then intentionally destroyed in place."
