Authorities have confirmed that a police officer was injured during an incident in the village of Diraz after a group of individuals clashed with security forces.

According to a statement by the Director-General of the Northern Governorate Police, the situation unfolded while riot control units were carrying out legal procedures to address road obstructions in the village. These included the unauthorized construction of roadside structures known as madaif (temporary tents or stalls), which were reportedly blocking public roads.
