Two people assassinated in plain view of military checkpoint in Hadhramaut

Unidentified gunmen have on Friday evening assassinated two people in the city of Seiyun in Hadhramaut province, local sources said.

According to the sources, gunmen in a car opened fire at two people on Friday evening and shot them dead in front of the water gate in Suhil Seiyun.

The sources pointed out that the military checkpoint located right next to the incident did not intervene, even though the soldiers were only a few dozen meters away from the site of the assassination.

The districts of Wadi Hadhramaut which are under the occupation of the United Arab Emirates forces, have been witnessing major security chaos and a series of assassinations carried out by armed factions loyal to the invaders, often aimed against Yemeni military and security officers, as well as civilian targets.
