In turn, al-Qaeda emphasized that during the operation the Mujahideen did not incur any losses, although battles were fought in the open field. One of the main reasons for the defeat of puppets was a weak military-strategic planning of their leadership.

Meanwhile, AQAP continues operations in the neighboring to Abyan province of Lahij. It has been reported about the elimination of Abdulaqader al-Shami, the director of regime's political security in the province of Lahij.
Mujahideen planted a targeted IED on the side of the road in the Eyad region which is located on the Lahij - Aden, and detoneted it at the time of travel of a car with the ringleader. According to the Mujahideen, the burned bodies of the puppets were thrown out of the car by explosion.
However, the AQAP has not yet confirmed the elimination of al-Shami. For its part, the puppet regime claimed that the ringleader and two of his bodyguards were seriously injured and are in critical condition. According to other information, all of them were killed on the spot.
The command also confirmed the elimination of yet another ringleader of Lahij, the political security service colonel of the puppet regime.
A source in the AQAP explained that the Mujahideen killed the colonel at 7:30 am on Saturday, eliminating him in the provincial capital of Hawtah. The ringleader was responsible for the arrest and brutal torture of Muslims and desecration of Islamic sanctities he performed using his official position. The fact of elimination was also admitted by the puppets.
