Saudi occupation forces open fire at protesters in Aden

ADEN, Sept. 14 (YPA) – Saudi occupation forces in Aden on Tuesday opened fire in an attempt to disperse protesters gathered near the central bank of Aden, who are protesting against  “policy of starvation.”

According to local sources, Saudi forces and its mercenary factions guarding the central bank fired indiscriminately from machine guns in an attempt to prevent the protesters’ storming of the city’s central bank.

This came as protest in the UAE- backed Southern transitional Council ( STC- held city) amid signs that the city is sliding into a new quagmire of chaos.

Since Monday evening, Aden has been the scene of a wave of protests against the deteriorating services, particularly electricity, and the collapse of the local currency amid a continued ban on salary payments.

Violent explosions rocked various parts of the city.

According to pro-STC media, the explosions were a result of “sound” bombs thrown by unknown assailants at the headquarters of the National Bank and police stations in various areas.
