3 STC militiamen killed, 4 injured by bomb attacks in Abyan

ABYAN, Dec. 27 (YPA) – At least three militia members of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) were killed and four others wounded on Tuesday in a double attack in Abyan province, southern Yemen.

Informed sources in the province reported that al-Qaeda members targeted two vehicles of the so-called “Third Support Brigade” and the “Emergency Forces” of the STC with two explosive devices in “al-Khayala” valley in al-Mahfad area, as a result of which 3 were killed and 4 wounded.

This comes after two people were killed on Monday when a STC military vehicle was targeted in Al-Mahfad area.

The terrorist elements resorted to using explosive devices to target the STC militia in Abyan, after announcing the operation of the so-called “East Arrows”, in early September, and its control of the Islah Party camps in most areas of the province.
