In the meantime, the militia carried out mass arrests against dozens of citizens and human rights activists in the districts of Zabid and Beit al-Faqih under the pretext of supporting the legitimate government.

The rebels also deployed new military checkpoints from where they abducted a number of people and search for others. However, the whereabouts of the abductees still unknown to their relatives.

Meanwhile, a woman and a man were shot by Houthi militias’ snipers east of the Hais District, south of Hodeidah. The victims are in life-threatening conditions as their injuries are deadly.

The militias also shelled the house Mahjub Magari with mortars, causing a serious injury to an elderly woman in the same directorate.
