Clashes between the people and the security forces that took place after the people broke into the old building of Abyan's governorate, forcing the guards out and then handing the compound to southern officers continued on Tuesday.
Sources told the News Yemen that reinforcements from the Central Security Forces have arrived in the governorate capital of Zunjbar where confrontations are ongoing.
The development came after the security forces seized a citizen and no more details were reported.
Abayn is a Yemen's southern province which saw violence in recent month that came within protests and acts by the Southern Mobility Movement.
Many were killed and others were hurt, with the security forces blanketing the streets and sometimes clashing with the people.
