Government military units arrived in the coastal town of Shuqra Wednesday, east of the city of Zunjbar, capital of Abyan province, a military source said.
The source said that more than 20 military vehicle carrying machine guns, along with two ambulances, arrived in the town of Shukra, and stationed at the site of “Qarn al-Klasy,” while other forces deployed near the mountain range Al-Arqoub.
This batch of government army troops comes a day after the Southern Transitional Council forces sent military reinforcements to the outskirts of Zunjbar.
The transitional council has so far delayed the delivery of heavy and medium weapons to the Saudi-led coalition.
