Series of airstrikes target STC militia in several southern governorates

SHABWA, Dec. 11 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia confirmed, on Thursday, that its forces were targeted by airstrikes in several governorates, coinciding with ongoing tensions with Saudi Arabia.

The Emirati news network “Eram News” quoted STC military spokesman Mohammed al-Naqib as confirming that drones targeted its forces in Shabwa, coinciding with another drone flight over Aden.

Moreover, media reports indicated that a drone, likely Saudi, attacked STC military reinforcements in Shabwa, destroying seven armored vehicles and a pickup truck, while no casualties were revealed.

These developments come amid continued tensions with Saudi Arabia, which is pressuring the STC militia to withdraw from the eastern highlands of Yemen, while the militia is attempting to impose a new reality, even if only by reducing the area of ​​its forces’ deployment within those governorates.
