Tension gripped Ait Amira, in the province of Chtouka Ait Baha, on Tuesday evening after groups of young people staged unauthorized demonstrations despite a ban issued by local authorities.
According to local sources, the protests quickly escalated into acts of rioting, with participants setting fire to police vehicles, damaging others belonging to the security forces, and torching garbage containers.
The incidents prompted traders to shutter their shops and triggered a large-scale security deployment.
Law enforcement intervened in force to contain the unrest, with running clashes reported between protesters and officers.
Reinforcements from several branches of the security services were dispatched to the area.
Local sources indicated that numerous arrests were made among those suspected of involvement in the vandalism. Judicial authorities have opened investigations under the supervision of the public prosecutor to establish the circumstances of the events and identify potential instigators.
