Saudi regime forces attacked on Tuesday the town of al-Awamiyah in the Eastern province, opening indiscriminate fire at houses.

Reports from Al-Alam news agency show that  Al-Saud forces attacked the town with armored vehicles, hitting the cars, houses and shops with random fire.

The sources said that the fire was opened by the attacking forces and there was no reply by the locals.

Al-Awamiyah is the town of martyr Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr who was executed by Al-Saud regime a couple of months ago.

Sheikh Nimr was a vocal supporter of the mass pro-democracy protests against Riyadh, which erupted in Eastern Province in 2011, where a Shia majority has long complained of marginalization.
