Two citizens, one of whom was a child, died from lightning in two separate incidents in Hajjah Governorate (northwest Yemen).

Local sources said that the child (Moataz Muqbil Muhammad Qaid Marei - 12 years old) died as a result of a lightning strike that struck him in the village of "Al-Dahra" in the Fas district in the Bakil Al-Mir directorate.

The sources added that a citizen named (Hassan Mohammed Hassan Al-Mazrouqi - 30 years old) also died simultaneously due to a thunderbolt in the village of "Aqawa" in the Al-Atan district in the same directorate.

For years, Hajjah Governorate has topped the list of Yemeni cities in terms of victims of thunderbolts, which kill dozens of people annually in Yemen.
