At least three individuals from the "Dhu Muhammad" tribes sustained injuries following violent armed clashes with Houthi militia elements in the Bart district of Al Jawf Governorate. The confrontation occurred amidst escalating tribal and military tensions in the region. Local sources reported that the confrontations erupted after the Houthi militia intercepted several vehicles belonging to the "Al Salah" clan, part of the Dhu Muhammad tribes, as they were traveling from Al Hazm city. It is believed that the tribal vehicles were en route to "Matrah Al Rayyan" in the Khab and Al Sha'af district. According to the sources, this interception is part of ongoing efforts by the Houthi militia to hinder and obstruct the arrival of Yemeni tribes responding to the "tribal mobilization" call issued by Sheikh Hamad bin Fadgham Al Hazmi. Following the incident, a state of severe tension and heightened alert prevailed between the tribes of the region and the militia. Concerns are high regarding the potential resumption of clashes and the expansion of the conflict zone, given the continued mobilization and tribal rejection of Houthi practices. |
