More than 40 people were killed or injured in a horrific collision between two passenger buses in the Al-Abr area of Hadhramaut Governorate, eastern Yemen, near the Al-Wadea border crossing with Saudi Arabia.
Local sources reported that the crash involved a bus operated by “Rawah” company and another by “Najmat Al-Suhoul,” noting that several of the injured are in critical condition, raising concerns that the death toll could rise.
The sources added that among the fatalities were non-Yemeni nationals, including a Pakistani and an Egyptian citizen.
Social media users shared video footage showing the extent of the damage to both buses caused by the collision. As of now, local authorities in Hadhramaut have not issued any official statement regarding the incident.
The Al-Wadea land crossing is the only official border point connecting Yemen and Saudi Arabia. It sees thousands of travelers pass through daily, while the roads leading to it are known for frequent accidents that have resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries in recent years.
