"Four policemen were killed when unknown gunmen attacked their patrol... east of Mukalla," capital of Hadramawt province, a security official said.
Yemen is a key US ally in the war against Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has plotted several foiled attacks against the United States.
