[h=1]US raid on al-Qaeda compound in Yemen Donald Trump's first military engagement as President[/h]
Washington, DC: A US commando died and three others were wounded in a deadly dawn raid on the al-Qaeda militant group in southern Yemen, which was the first military operation authorised by US President Donald Trump.
The US military said 14 militants died in the attack on a powerful al-Qaeda branch that has been a frequent target of US drone strikes.
Medics at the scene, however, said around 30 people, including 10 women and children, were killed.
The gunbattle in the rural Yakla district of al-Bayda province killed a senior leader in Yemen's al-Qaeda branch, Abdulraoof al-Dhahab, along with other militants, al-Qaeda said.
