Yemeni military and security officials say a group of US military forces, including Special Forces commandos, have evacuated an air base after al-Qaida seized a nearby city.
The officials say the troops are leaving the Al Anad air base near the southern city of al-Houta. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to discuss troop movements, did not say whether the troops left the country.
There are some 100 American troops and Special Forces commandos believed to be stationed there.
US officials declined to immediately comment Saturday.
