(CNN) -- DNA tests are being conducted on those killed in a massive anti-terror operation in Yemen to determine if a high-profile al Qaeda bomb maker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, is among the dead, Yemeni officials said Tuesday.

At least 65 militants from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula were killed in a combination of recent drone strikes and firefights, some from neighboring Saudi Arabia, Yemeni officials said.

A high-level Yemeni government official told CNN that al-Asiri is among those suspected to have been killed in a firefight Sunday between militants and Yemeni forces.

The official's comments are the first public acknowledgment that al-Asiri could be among the dead.

The DNA tests are not due back for several days, the official said.
