DUBAI, July 26, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Eight people, most from one family, were killed when an unexploded projectile from Yemen's years-long war detonated inside a house, while seven soldiers were killed in two separate attacks with IEDs, government officials said Wednesday. Another security official confirmed the death toll of the incident, which took place on Tuesday in Marib, northern Yemen. The government military official said "the Huthis infiltrated the road and planted four explosive devices" and were able to detonate two of them as the military vehicles passed by. And in Abyan, southern Yemen, two officers and a soldier in the government forces were killed Tuesday evening by an IED planted by unknown gunmen, believed to be from al-Qaeda, according to a military official. According to the official, Abyan has been witnessing "security operations and confrontations between al-Qaeda members and security forces" for weeks.
