Man killed by gunmen in Aden

ADEN, March 21 (YPA) – A citizen was killed on Tuesday by unknown gunmen in the city of Aden, which is under the control of the Saudi-led coalition militia.

Human rights sources in the city stated that gunmen, believed to belong to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia, opened fire and killed the young man, Fahd Saleh Awad, in Al-Basateen neighborhood of Dar Saad.

The sources pointed out that the gunmen managed to flee in front of the citizens to an unknown destination, without knowing the motives of the assassination.

Security chaos has struck the city of Aden due to the absence of state authorities since the coalition took control of the city in the second half of 2015, assassinating hundreds of military, security leaders and mosque preachers.

The situation in Aden has led to the kidnapping of women and girls to be held against an unknown person.
