A civilian was killed and others were injured as a result of clashes between security forces and armed gangs during the opening of Al-Aqroud Road, on Wednesday morning, in Al-Misrakh District in Taiz Governorate, central Yemen.

A local source told NewsYemen that clashes erupted between the security campaign and gangs affiliated with the Brotherhood's militias blocking the Al-Aqroud Al-Hawban road this morning in Al-Misrakh.

The clashes between the two parties led to the killing of a citizen and the injury of two others, and the militants fled to the mountains after arresting some of them, handing over the points in the loans to the military police, and opening the path of loans, according to the source.

It is noteworthy that the Brotherhood's militia had set up a number of illegal security points in Al-Aqroud, and imposed royalties on cars and commercial trucks passing through the Al-Aqrod line south of Al-Misrakh.

The reopening of Al-Aqroud Road came three weeks after the decision to close it by the Brotherhood militia, and it is the only artery linking the city of Taiz and the area of Al-Hawban.
