A soldier was killed and another was injured from the Hadrami Elite Brigade of the Second Military Region, in a stabbing attack in Al-Mukalla, the capital of Hadramout Governorate (eastern Yemen).

The Second Military Region and the local authority in the governorate mourned, in two separate statements, First Assistant (Saeed Abdullah Talib Bargash), who died yesterday evening from his injuries in a stabbing incident at the Balfaqih military checkpoint in Mukalla.

The obituary data indicated that the soldier, who is related to the commander of the Second Region, was subjected to a cowardly and treacherous stabbing attack alongside his colleague (Omar Saeed Badbis), while they were performing their military duty at the checkpoint yesterday morning.

According to the obituary, the perpetrator was arrested, and investigations are still ongoing to determine the motives for the crime.
