One person was killed and two others wounded in an armed attack by tribal gunmen targeting a Saudi-led forces’ checkpoint in Mahara province, an official reported on Wednesday.
Armed tribesmen against the Saudi presence and the extension of oil pipelines through the territory of Yemen attacked the checkpoint, set up by the Saudi occupation near the area of Haswain.
The clashes took place in Anfaq area near of Nashtwn port, killing one and injuring two, without specifying to whom they belong.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of Hadi back to power and crushing the country’s Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The Saudi-led war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN has already said that a record 22.2 million Yemenis are in dire need of food, including 8.4 million threatened by severe hunger.
According to the world body, Yemen is suffering from the most severe famine in more than 100 years.
A number of Western countries, the US and Britain in particular, are also accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply the Riyadh regime with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical and intelligence assistance.
