Ambush targeted reinforcements of UAE-backed factions in Shabwa

SHABWA, Aug. 19 (YPA) – Islah militants set up ambushes targeting military reinforcements of UAE-backed factions  in the outskirts of Shabwa province, southern Yemen, on Thursday.

According to local sources, an armed ambush set by Islah-affiliated special security elements targeted reinforcements of Al-Amaliqa forces on the road leading to al-Abbr in the Ayadh area, killing and wounding a number of the them.

The incident comes as clashes between the Saudi-led coalition’s factions on the outskirts of the oil-rich province escalated  amid the resumption of strikes by UAE aircraft on the Islah sites.
