Major explosion rocks Modiya district in Abyan

ABYAN, Aug. 31 (YPA) – A major explosion rocked this evening, Saturday, in one of the districts of Abyan province, southern Yemen, which is under the control of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) loyal to the UAE.

The explosion occurred in Omran Valley, east of the Modiya district, which has been controlled by the STC factions since August 2022.

This comes after the expansion of attacks targeting the STC factions present there by Al-Qaeda members, the most recent of which was targeting a gathering of the factions with a car bomb in mid-August, leaving approximately 15 dead and 20 injured.
