A security official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Monday that the drone had targeted five Yemenis and “foreigners” in Juba during an attack on a gathering of people “known to belong to al-Qaeda.”
The official declined to elaborate on the nationalities of those killed in the strike.
