Local sources reported that unidentified assailants targeted a military vehicle carrying the commander in the Security Belt forces, Samir Mahlab Al-Qinashi, with an improvised explosive device east of Mudiyah district.

The attack resulted in the death of one recruit and injury of two others.

According to the sources, Al-Qinashi and the wounded were taken to a hospital for treatment.
