ABYAN, Aug. 19 (YPA) – Large military reinforcements belonging to Islah Party arrived on Wednesday at the coastal city of Shoqra in Abyan province, in southern Yemen.

Local sources in the province indicated that, during the past 24 hours, Islah sent four military batches from Marib and Bayda province to the coastal Shoqra front.

The sources confirmed that the Islah party brought in hundreds of terrorist elements that received painful blows from the army and the popular committees in Qayfa area in Weld Rabie district of Bayda.
