Hadhramout (Debriefer) - One protestor was killed and 8 others injured on Tuesday, when Yemeni government security forces fired life ammunition to disperse a rally in the eastern governorate of Hadhramout.
The security forces used force to separate the demonstration in Maifa'a Hajar area west Hadhramout in protest of bad services, electricity in particular, local sources said.
The life ammunition fired by the security forces left a young man killed and eight others injured, the sources added.
The protestors blocked the Aden-Hadhramout international road in Maifa'a following the gunfire, eyewitnesses said.
For several weeks, Hadhramout has been the scene of public rallies in protest of increase in prices and decline in livings and services.
Mid-March, four people were wounded in clashes between security forces and angry demonstrators in the government-held city of Seyoun, a district of Hadhramout.
