Battle of Dofas
Militants attacks on Yemeni army posts
On 4 March 2012, militants from Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamist group linked to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, launched an attack on Yemeni military installations in the adjacent towns of Dofas and al-Kawd in Abyan Governorate, Yemen. The two towns had been major fighting grounds in the battle for the nearby city of Zinjibar since the militants seized the city the previous year.
