The Square of Offers at the Khor Maksar district in the capital, Aden, witnessed, shortly before, a security tension that resulted in a protest pause organized by a number of citizens to demand the improvement of living conditions and basic services.

Local sources said that the stand began peacefully, during which the participants raised slogans calling for the provision of electricity and water, paying salaries and improving the standard of living, but the tension began when some chants of a anti -political nature rose, which sparked friction with the security forces in charge of securing the event.

The sources added that a number of protesters threw stones at the security crews, prompting the security forces to fire in the air to disperse the gathering.

This has led to a state of panic among the demonstrators who left the scene in a hurry, which led to the failure of the stand before completing its activities.

Eyewitnesses confirmed that the shooting did not result in injuries, but it caused a state of confusion and fear between the protesters and the passers -by, while there have been yet any official statements from the security authorities regarding the incident.
