Two members UAE-linked factions killed in ambush in Abyan province, Southern Yemen

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Two members of the UAE-backed factions were killed on Thursday in an armed ambush in Abyan
...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same.

province, southern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
Unidentified button men set up an armed ambush during which they targeted a military vehicle of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) factions with an bomb between the village of Surat al-Mashaykh and al-Baqira, as a result of which an officer in the factions and one of his lover companions were killed.

This came after the killing of two children and a young man when STC’s members opened fire on citizens riding a car last Monday next to al-Hamina station in the al-Jabla area of the district, and then they fled.

Ambushes by pro-Islah Party terrorist elements have targeted STC military vehicles with bombs, during which more than 520 members, including leaders, have been killed or maimed since the announcement of Operation "Siham al-Sharq" on August 21, 2022, until last August.
