STC militias send new reinforcements to Lahj

LAHJ, Oct. 21 (YPA) – The leadership of southern transitional council militias sent on Wednesday new military reinforcements to Lahj province, sources told Yemen Press Agency.

The southern militiamen sent military reinforcements to their militants in the ninth brigade in Tawr al-Baha district due to Islah threats to invade the district, which is the northern gateway to Aden city.

According to the sources, the commander of the ninth brigade of the southern militiamen, Faroq al-Kaaloly said that “Whoever wants to return Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar to al-Maashiq palace in Aden is considered delusional”.
