DHALEA – A gunman was killed on Thursday in clashes between the so-called Security Belt militias, which are backed by the United Arab Emirates, and the so-called Public Security of the Islah Party (Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood) in Dalea province, southern Yemen.

“Medium and heavy weapons were used during the clashes,” a Yemen Press Agency correspondent said.

The reporter explained that the UAE-backed militias had opened fire from all their positions on the security administration that is loyal to the Islah Party.

The direct reason for the clashes is as of yet unknown, but the regions of Yemen that are occupied by the Saudi-led coalition are infamous for its frequent infighting between various mercenary groups, militia forces and terrorist gangs.
