The spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, Brigadier General Abdul Khaliq Al-Ajri, expressed the ministry’s regret over the painful incident in the city of Rada’a in Al-Bayda province, which resulted in the death of a number of security men and citizens.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior explained in a statement received by Saba that the incident, which occurred in the Rada’a district of Al-Bayda governorate, occurred as a result of a mistake by some security men during the implementation of a security campaign to pursue some saboteurs who attacked security men earlier, which led to the death of two security men and the injury of others.
While security agents were pursuing the saboteurs, some individuals used excessive and illegal force in an irresponsible response without returning and taking instructions from the security leadership or the Interior Ministry’s knowledge, he said.

He pointed out that the Minister of Interior also directed compensation for the families of the victims and those affected by the incident.
