SHABWA, Sept. 15 (YPA) – Armed clashes renewed on Wednesday between the UAE-backed militias in Shabwa governorate, southern Yemen, after weeks of confrontations that led to the killing and injuring of dozens.

According to local sources, violent clashes erupted between the forces of the so-called “Al-Amaliqa” and the so-called “Southern Resistance” in the Habban area of Shabwa governorate.

The sources pointed out that the forces of the so-called “Southern Resistance” stopped military groups of the so-called “Al-Amaliqa” to ascertain their identity, before violent clashes erupted between the two parties in the same place, confirming the casualties between the two parties.

The occupied southern governorates are witnessing a security chaos, and an escalation of attacks and assassinations between the parties loyal to the US-Saudi-UAE aggression, in light of the spread of Takfiri groups.
