Yemen government plane bombs army brigade

A Yemen government warplane has mistakenly bombed an army position in the country’s south, killing at least 30 soldiers.

Army officials said the bombing took place last night in the southern Abyan province amid fighting with militants.

They said the soldiers of the army’s 119th brigade were stationed at an abandoned school just outside the capital of Abyan province, Zinjibar. Militants linked to al Qaida control Zinjibar.
