A young man was killed early Monday in a drone strike in the Al-Waziya district of western Taiz, in an attack attributed to the National Resistance Forces led by Presidential Leadership Council member Tariq Saleh, according to local sources, in an incident that has sharply escalated tensions in the area.
The victim, identified as Burhan Ali Taha, was inside a guard room near his home in the village of Hina when the strike occurred, residents said.
