Tension prevailed on Tuesday in the city of Aden, the most prominent stronghold of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) militia, following the killing of a high-ranking leader by the bullets of the bodyguards of a security official.
Southern media reported, quoting security sources, that the “security belt” forces in Aden were directed to pursue leaders in the security belt in Lahj province, including those accompanying Saleh al-Sayed.
The recent directions came after Al-Syaed refused to hand over gunmen involved in killing the officer in the facilities protection of the security belts in Aden, Mohammed bin Afif, the personal companion of the facilities protection commander, Ahmed Mahdi Al-Afif.
