Houthi militia activity in Taiz, Yemen
Overview
Reports from the Taiz governorate highlight increasing civilian and military casualties attributed to Houthi militia actions. In the Al-Adan village of the Sabr al-Mawadim district, a Houthi strike on a home killed a 35-year-old Quran teacher and her 65-year-old father. Due to fuel shortages and a siege in the region, the family was forced to carry the deceased through mountainous terrain to reach a hospital.
Concurrently, the Legal Division of the Taiz Axis has accused Houthi militias of desecrating the bodies of Yemeni armed forces and resistance members. Reports submitted to military leadership allege that remains provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross showed signs of severe mutilation, including the use of corrosive chemicals and the breaking of limbs. The division has called for an international investigation by the United Nations, stating these actions may constitute war crimes.
