One killed, several wounded in armed clashes in Mahrah province — Hodhod Yemen News Agency
2025-08-11
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] A person was killed, and several others were maimed in armed festivities that erupted Sunday morning between two tribes in the Hawf district of Mahrah province, eastern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
A local source reported that the festivities broke out between button men from the Kada and Balhaf tribes in the village of Al Fatak in the coastal area of Yaroub, following a dispute over a plot of land.

Members of both tribes used light and medium weapons in the festivities, while local authorities or forces loyal to the Saudi-led coalition did not intervene to stop the festivities.

The source indicated that tensions remain between the two tribes, with no solution to the disputes that led to the armed festivities.
