The Battle of Lawdar was a major assault by Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamist group linked to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, in an attempt to capture Lawdar, a city in Abyan Governorate. Prior to the battle, Ansar al-Sharia already had control over several cities in Abyan, including its capital, and likely sought to take over Lawdar due to its strategic significance.
