SHABWA, Sep. 01 (YPA) – New military reinforcements backed by the UAE arrived on Thursday to the city of Ataq, the center of Shabwa province.

Sources familiar with the matter in the province said that military units from the Shabwa Defense Forces stationed in the al-Said district arrived in the Ataq and will be deployed around the western areas of the city.

These reinforcements come amid fears of a military attack by the Islah factions, which advanced on Wednesday on the outskirts of the city of Ataq, after the Saudi and Emirati influence struggle to control the oil-rich province.
