Pentagon confirms weekend drone strikes under Trump
Source: The Hill
The Pentagon confirmed Monday that it conducted three drone strikes in Yemen against al Qaeda militants over the weekend.
The strikes were the first since President Donald Trump was sworn in to office, but the Pentagon said the strikes did not require authorization from him or Defense Secretary James Mattis.

Davis said one strike was conducted in al Bayda, Yemen each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
