30 people, including one civilian killed in south Yemen clashes

Yemeni officials say 30 people, including one civilian have been killed Thursday in clashes between al-Qaeda militants and partisans of the Yemeni army in the country's south.

The confrontations come during Yemen's campaign to retake parts of the south from al-Qaeda following a year of internal turmoil.

Military officials say al-Qaeda militants tried to storm a small town north of the group's stronghold of Jaar in Abyan province on Thursday. Armed civilians along with soldiers backed by artillery fought off the al-Qaeda militants, officials said.

Also in the south, warplanes bombed a vehicle suspected to belong to al-Qaida on the road between Jaar and another al-Qaida stronghold Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan, killing three militants.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
