Large military reinforcements of STC arrive in Abyan

ABYAN, Aug. 16 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Sunday dispatched new military reinforcements to the confrontation areas with Hadi’s forces and Islay Party militants in Abyan province, southern Yemen.

Military sources stated that the reinforcements that came from Aden included armored vehicles and patrols carrying dozens of soldiers, and arrived in the so-called “October 7 Camp” in Ja’ar city of Abyan, in addition to the areas of Sheikh Salem, al-Tariya and Wadi Sala.

The Islah forces had accused the STC militias of launching artillery shelling on their sites near the city of Ja’ar.

The province of Abyan is witnessing a state of chaos and randomness due to the spread of the Islah armed factions on the one hand and the STC militias on the other hand.
