Yemeni lawyer, Haykal Bafana reported yesterday:
"Heavy clashes including shelling today in AlJalilah village, Al Dhale' between 33rd Armoured Brigade & Harak militants. Up to 3 dead and more than a dozen injured. Clashes are still going on : 2 helicopter gunships join the army unit's tanks and APCs. While this is not the first armed skirmish there, the serious firepower being deployed by the Yemeni army probably means more trouble is ahead. Not really clear right now what sparked off the clash today.
Historically, Al Dhale' was the heart of South Yemen's independence war against the British in the 1960s. Anything that happens in AlDhale' is likely to reverbrate in the entire South."
