The attack targeted militants, who were traveling in two vehicles in the Bihan region of Yemen’s southern province of Shabwa on Saturday, a local security official said.
Several other suspected militants were wounded in Saturday’s drone strike, the official noted.
The drone attack comes amid political tensions in Yemen.
Washington says political void in Yemen will not affect its so-called anti-terrorism campaign in the Arab country.
The United States acknowledges using drones as part of its targeted killing campaign in Muslim countries to eliminate what it regards as militants. However, it does not comment publicly on individual cases of the aerial bombing campaign.
The US administration claims that the drones target al-Qaeda militants, but local sources say civilians have been the main victims of the airstrikes.
The US drone strikes in Yemen have led to the deaths of many civilians over the past few years in a blatant violation of international law, according to Human Rights Watch.
