Death toll reaches 127 from Yemen clashes
Yemeni army officials say heavy clashes overnight between the military and al Qaida-linked militants in the south have killed 63 people, bringing the two-day death toll to 127.
The officials say the fighting that broke out in the town of Lawder early on Monday spilled over into Tuesday, with the army shelling militant hideouts in an effort to prevent them from sending reinforcements.
