| [Emirates 24/7] Fresh festivities erupted between armed rustics and Republican Guard forces in Yemen's southern province of Lahij on Sunday, killing five people, four of them soldiers, police said. The renewed fighting erupted in the same area where eight people, six rustics and two soldiers, were killed three days ago, police said. "Four soldiers and a primitive were killed in new fighting today," a police official said. Tribesmen in the mountain village of Labus regard the presence of troops in the area as a provocation. |
