This was reported by Yemen News Portal, based on testimonies of security sources.

According to the sources, the gunmen, whom they described as “outlaws”, attacked a group belonging to the security faction that runs Dar Saad directorate while it was tracking down explosives, which resulted in the injury of three soldiers and destruction of their vehicle.

The source claimed that the security forces have arrested perpetrators and referred them to prosecution.
