One STC militia member killed, three injured in Abayn

ABYAN, May 05 (YPA) – At least one militia member of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) was killed and three others wounded on Friday in an explosion of an explosive device in Abyan province, eastern Yemen.

Local sources said that an improvised explosive device exploded and targeted an ambulance belonging to the STC in the Mudiya district.

Sources added that the incident resulted in “the death of one recruit and the injury of three others who were on board the vehicle.”

The attacks with explosive devices have been active against the STC militias since they announced the so-called “East arrows” operation against the Islah Party militants in Abyan in early September, leaving dead and wounded.
