Clashes renew between STC’s militia, Hadi forces in Abyan

ABYAN, May 15 (YPA) – The clashes between the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia and Hadi’s forces backed by Islah Part (Brotherhood)’s militants renewed at dawn Friday in the occupied Abyan province, southern Yemen.

Local sources said that Hadi’s forces launched a heavy artillery bombardment on the positions of the STC militia in Qarn al-Klassi in the city of Shoqra, which led to the destruction of military equipment and sites.

The sources added that Saudi-led coalition aircraft flew over the skies of Abyan province and opened a sound barrier, the thing that was considered by military observers as a latest warning to Hadi’s forces before bombing them by aircraft missiles.

The confrontations caused cutting off the main road linking Aden and Abyan provinces, and travelers appealed to all the warring parties loyal to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia to stop the clashes and allow them to pass.
