Three Killed in Clashes Between Houthis and Tribal Gunmen in Rada'a
Sana'a — Three people were killed on Saturday in armed clashes between Houthi fighters and tribal gunmen in the Al-Hafrah neighborhood of Rada'a, located in Al-Bayda Governorate, central Yemen.
Local sources reported that the confrontation followed a military campaign launched by the Houthi group to tighten its security grip on the neighborhood, resulting in the deaths of two local residents and one Houthi fighter.
Background to the Tension
- The clashes erupted after the failure of local mediation efforts that had led to an agreement for the handover of ten wanted individuals in exchange for calming tensions.
- Residents accused the Houthis of violating the agreement, which reignited the confrontation.
