Yemen: Father Kills Two Young Men Over PUBG Game Dispute, Just Before Iftar
A petty dispute over an online video game turned deadly in Yemen's Hadramaut governorate, where an elderly man shot and killed two young men after they allegedly refused to play the popular game PUBG with his son. The shocking incident occurred just before iftar in Wadi Amd district, southeastern Yemen. According to local media reports and a statement by the Yemeni Ministry of Interior, the conflict began at a café near the suspect's home, where a disagreement escalated between the two victims and the suspect's son. The victims, identified as 20-year-old Ali Mohammed Basaleeb and his 18-year-old brother, Majed, reportedly declined to join the suspect's son in playing PUBG — a popular online multiplayer battle game. The refusal led to an argument that quickly turned physical. Authorities say the son informed his father about the altercation. The 55-year-old man, identified by initials A.M.A.B., intervened in the dispute armed with a firearm and, without hesitation, opened fire on the two brothers, killing them instantly. He later surrendered to local police. In a statement, the Interior Ministry's media department confirmed that the suspect was taken into custody and that the victims died at the scene despite attempts to provide emergency assistance. 'The district's security services have launched a full investigation to uncover the circumstances of the crime and initiate the necessary legal proceedings,' the ministry said. Source Gulf News
