One citizen killed, another injured by UAE-backed factions in Shabwa

SHABWA, Sept. 01 (YPA) –  A citizen was killed and another injured on Monday in the Mayfa’a District of Shabwa province, eastern Yemen, during gunfire from UAE-led factions.

A local source reported that citizen Saleh Mansour Al-Awlaqi was killed by “Shabwa Defense Forces” gunfire, and another person was injured at the Al-Fahfaha checkpoint, located between Joul Al-Raydah and Azzan town in Mayfa’a district.

The source explained that this incident comes amid the security chaos in the province, pointing to a previous incident involving the kidnapping of businessman Yaslam Ba’ali from outside his home in the city of Ataq.

These developments also come just one day after the killing of Mohammed Abd Rabbuh Saleh Al-Hadar Al-Fatimi in armed clashes between two tribes in Baihan District, due to a dispute over a plot of land, amid a clear absence of local authorities.
