YJS condemned the incident, labeling it as a dangerous and calling the relevant authorities in al-Dhala'a governorate to swiftly probe into the incident, arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.

The journalist al-Laith said, in a press release, that gunmen led by Abdul-Malik al-Asahab intercepted the crew of Yemen Shabab at al-Wateef checkpoint, then shot fire on them, wounding one of their companion.
