Five people were killed and three wounded by gunfire in Hodeidah Governorate, west of the country, amid security chaos in the various governorates under the control of the militia.

Local sources said that five people were killed and three others were injured, as a result of armed clashes between tribal militants in the Bayt al-Faqih District in Hodeidah Governorate.

The sources added that the incident was due to disputes resulting from a piece of land between citizens in the Beit al-Faqih District, noting that one of the citizens was released from prison, which contributed to the development of disputes and the outbreak of clashes between the militants.

The sources pointed out that the militia worked to fuel disputes between the Beit Al-Maruf and Al-Shraim families, which led to armed confrontations in the middle of the Beit Al-Faqih market and other areas of the Beit Al-Faqih District, which led to deaths and injuries.

The sources indicated that among the dead and wounded were civilians who had nothing to do with the disputes and the two sides of the confrontations that led to a state of terror among citizens.

A surveillance camera documented part of the confrontations in the Beit al-Faqih market, where two gunmen exchanged gunfire from a close range, killing one of the gunmen instantly.

Hodeidah Governorate and the rest of the areas under the militia’s control are witnessing a horrific security chaos, with crime, killings, looting, and theft of citizens’ property increasing on a daily basis.
