\u00a0<\/p>\n

An armored vehicle belonging to the Saudi military has reportedly exploded in the besieged Shia town of Awamiyah, which has been under attack by regime forces over the past days.<\/h4>\n

According to Taqreed al-Ahrar news website, all those on board the military vehicle were killed after it exploded in Awamiyah, located in the Qatif region of Eastern Province, on Friday.<\/h4>\n

The exact reason for the explosion is unknown, but reports by other news outlets indicated that it was caused after two armored vehicles collided and one was engulfed in flames.<\/h4>\n

Sources have also reported widespread mutiny among Saudi military forces in the besieged town, with a large number of troops refraining from field operations against people.<\/h4>\n

The incident occurred just a day after the regime forces, equipped with heavy weapons, launched a fresh wave of shelling attacks against Awamiyah, as a fierce crackdown on protesters there enters its second week.<\/h4>\n
