Unknown gunmen assassinated a security official in the southern governorate of Abyan.
A security source in the Abyan Operations Room told German News Agency that “unidentified gunmen in a car shot Saleh al-Mihdhar, commander of the emergency battalion of the Special Forces of Hadi’s government in the center of the city of Shuqra.”
The source added that Al-Mihdhar was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital, but he died of his injuries.
The source confirmed that the gunmen fled while investigations are still being sought for them, as the security forces intensified their presence at the entrances and exits of the city.
