Bin Aziz penetrates stronghold of Islah militants in Shabwah, establishes his first military battalion

SHABWAH, Nov. 3 (YPA) – Saghir Bin Aziz, chief of staff of Hadi’s forces loyal to the UAE occupation on Tuesday pushed large reinforcements into Shabwah province in anticipation of a confrontation with the al-Salah factions in the province.

Local sources said reinforcements, including UAE troops and armoured vehicles, had arrived in the Bayhan district to reinforce the battalion set up by Ben Aziz in the oil directorate led by Mubarak al-Handous  al-Harithi, and the Islah militants  are trying to seize its weapons.

The reinforcements came after the governor of Shabwah, Mohammed Saleh bin Edou, directed the formation of a military force of more than 60 military personnel to storm Bayhan and arrest al-Harithi and confiscate his weapons, which he received from Bin Aziz.

Tension continues to prevail in the Bayhan district as conflict between the two sides escalated .
