Two oil company guards were killed and five others were wounded in in a roadside bomb blast in southeastern Yemen's Hadharmout, one of the las.t fe.w remaining governorates under government's control on Tuesday, security sources have said.
The guards, affiliate to the Yemeni army's First Military Region, were escorting a convoy of gas tanker trucks in Al-Abr highway en route from Hadhramout to the neighboring Shabwa governorate when the blast occurred killing two and wounding five others who were rushed to hospital.
