Two civilians have been wounded after a shooting in the kingdom’s oil-rich Eastern Province, where the Riyadh regime has launched a heavy-handed crackdown against the Shia Muslim population.
The incident involved two male civilians, aged 30 and 50, who were hospitalized with gunshot wounds in Qatif’s restive town of Awamiyah early Monday.
Awamiyah has witnessed an increase in protests and an ensuing crackdown as Riyadh has insisted on destroying al-Mosara, claiming the neighborhood’s narrow streets have become a hideout for militants believed to be behind attacks on security forces in the region.
