UAE-backed militias storm planning office in Socotra

SOCOTRA, Oct. 12 (YPA) – The UAE-baked Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militias stormed on Monday the Office of Planning and International Cooperation, in Socotra archipelago province.

The STC militia stormed the planning office during a workshop organized by the office on price hikes and their impact on food security, which included directors of executive offices in the province, a local source said.

The source confirmed that the STC elements entered the workshop room armed with various types of weapons, threatening the office’s director and head of the information systems coordination unit with arrest.

The STC militia took control of the city of Hadibo, the capital of the island, last June, following the withdrawal of the Saudi forces from all the military points located at the entrances to the city.
