Violent explosions hit Islah’s military camp in Abyan

ABYAN, Jul. 06 (YPA) – Violent explosions rocked Tuesday one of the camps of the Islah Party loyal to Saudi-led coalition in Abyan province, southern Yemen.

Local sources in the province stated that the explosions hit the headquarters of the 115th Infantry Brigade stationed in Laudar district, without knowing who was behind the explosion.

The sources suggested that the explosion was likely caused by a drone strike.

This comes after a US drone targeted Islah’s Fifth Brigade mosque in Mudiyah district on Monday, leaving nearly 40 dead and wounded, including leaders of Al-Qaeda.

Laudar district witnessed violent confrontations last week between Islah militants and the Southern Transitional Council’s militias, against the background of the conflict on the appointment of a security director for the district.
