Armed clashes erupt in Shabwa

SHABWA, Sept. 27 (YPA) – Armed clashes erupted on Tuesday among the tribal groups in the city of Ataq of Shabwa province.

Tribal sources said that the confrontations broke out between the tribes of Al-Laksar in Al-Shuaib area of Al-Rawda district, east of Ataq, due to rebellions between the tribe’s sons, without mentioning the reasons or losses caused.

The clashes broke out between the sons of Shabwa tribes as a result of the absence of state authorities since 2016, and the Saudi-led coalition revived the issues of revenge between them in order to achieve its interests in controlling the oil areas.
