Fierce clashes erupt between ” Islah militias and tribesmen” in Marib

MARIB, Oct. 17 (YPA) – Fierce clashes resumed on Thursday between Islah party militias and tribesmen in Marib province, northeast of Yemen, local sources reported.

The fighting came a day after the first shipment of oil from Safer Fields was exported via locomotives to Shabwah.

Local sources said that tribal gunmen from “Al-Muthanna” attacked the points of the Hadi’s forces near the oil fields of Safer due to the  rejecting of their demands for compensation for  Saudi coalition raids.

The source pointed out that violent clashes broke out between the parties, and that the forces loyal to Islah in Marib used tanks in the bombing of tribal areas.
