Tribal gunman kills citizen in Abyan

ABYAN, Aug. 11 (YPA) – A citizen was killed on Sunday evening in Abyan governorate, southern Yemen, which is under the control of the UAE-backed  Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s factions.

Local sources in Al-Mahfed district reported that a tribal gunman, believed to be affiliated with the STC , shot  and killed a citizen in the middle of the market, “without knowing his name.”

The incident is suspected to be related to tribal revenge, amidst unprecedented insecurity and instability in Abyan districts and other southern provinces since early 2016.
