Fierce clashes erupted in the center of Taiz city between mercenaries loyal to Saudi-led aggression coalition, resulting in casualties, pro-aggression media outlets reported on Sunday.
According to local sources, the clashes began due to a dispute between the “Al-Naqib and Al-Zuqari” electricity companies, which escalated into when the owners of the two companies hired armed men to settle the dispute between them.
The sources confirmed that the mercenary leader, Hamam Marai, affiliated with the Islah Party, launched an attack on the Al-Naqib company.
