Huge military reinforcements, including Saudi armored vehicles arrive in Abyan

ABYAN, Nov. 14 (YPA) – Huge military reinforcements arrived Saturday in the coastal city of Shuqra in Abyan province, southern Yemen.

According to an informed source, a military convoy consisting of Saudi armoured and military vehicles arrived at the Shuqrah front, coming from Marib.

The military reinforcements of Islah militants came after violent clashes with the UAE-funded Southern Transitional Council (STC) militias in recent days, which left dead and wounded of both sides.

The leader Ahmed Saeed bin Brik, has ordered his militias to use ” Plan B ” against Islah militants  in Abyan, without disclosing details of the plan.

The clashes follow the failure of the so-called Riyadh Agreement, signed on November 5, 2019, between the Hadi government and the STC, which states the return of Hadi’s forces and Islah militants to Aden, after being captured by the STC in August 2019.
