Abyan (Debriefer) - Two successive blasts were followed by intense gunfire in the vicinity of the Saudi military committee in Shoqra district, in the Yemeni southern governorate of Abyan, Yemeni sources said Monday, hours after the panel arrived.
Two mortar shells were fired, one fell inside the HQs of the committee (that is tasked with supervising the application of Riyadh Agreement military provisions) and the other near civilian houses, the sources added.
Angered by the blasts, people from Shoqra blocked the Aden-Mukalla main road, calling for Saudi committee's departure, according to the sources.
