A conscript was killed and 9 others were seriously injured, on Saturday due to two separate attacks on the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militias in Lahj province, southern Yemen.
Local sources said that a military vehicle, carrying soldiers of the Ninth Thunderbolt Brigade affiliated with the STC, was ambushed in the Al-Hajjaf area of Ras Al-Ara and Al-Mudaraba district.
The ambush led to the death of Lieutenant Aslam Ali Mansour Al-Kalouli, while 6 other soldiers were injured with varying injuries.
In a second attack, three were injured as a result of an armed ambush in the Al-Muthalath area in the same district.
Lahj is witnessing military tension between the Saudi-led coalition factions amid Saudi efforts to expel the STC Forces and Tariq Afash from the governorate.
