News - Yemen: Armed clashes renewed between the mercenary factions of the Saudi-Emirati invasion and occupation forces in Shabwa governorate on Thursday, local sources reported.

The sources stated that the so-called Shabwa Defense Militias attacked a headquarters of the Giants militia in the Habban district, in response to a similar attack that targeted a security point for its forces in the district.

Sources explained that the militia members clashed with light and medium weapons, which resulted in casualties on both sides.

Severe confrontations broke out between the two factions on Wednesday after mutual attacks on their positions in the south of the oil province.

Shabwa Governorate is witnessing an unprecedented state of lawlessness in light of the large spread of mercenary factions affiliated with the invasion forces. These factions are seeking to get rid of each other in order to satisfy the occupier, who has turned the oil province into the focus of an open conflict between its mercenaries.

The occupied southern governorates are witnessing a security chaos, and an escalation of attacks and assassinations between the parties loyal to the US-Saudi-UAE aggression, in light of the spread of Takfiri groups.

The attack in Shabwa comes with the escalation of the state of popular revolution, and the outbreak of massive protests in the city of Aden, reflecting the rejection of occupying UAE-Saudi aggression.

The citizens protest against the continued deterioration of living conditions, the interruption of services, the collapse of the economy and currency, and the significant increase in fuel prices.

Saudi Arabia and many of its allies have been waging a war on Yemen since 2015 to restore power there to the country’s Riyadh-friendly former officials. The war and a simultaneous siege that the US-Saudi-led coalition has been enforcing on the country has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis.

The invasion has pushed entire Yemen close to the brink of outright famine, turning the country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
