Yemen militants torture Ansarullah fighters, footage shows
Newly released video footage purportedly shows militants torturing detained Ansarullah fighters in Yemen, amid ongoing Saudi airstrikes against the impoverished Arab country.
The video, released by Yemen’s Khabar news agency, shows a number of militants, loyal to fugitive former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, beat two Ansarullah fighters and threatening to shoot them.
The report comes as fighting rages on in the southern city of Aden as Ansarullah fighters seek to push back pro-Hadi forces who seek to gain control of Yemen’s second city. According to witnesses, clashes are continuing in the central parts of the port city.
The army says militants have not been able to take control of the downtown district of Tawahi and the presidential palace in Aden - a claim earlier made by the forces loyal to Hadi.
Aden has for months been the scene of heavy fighting between Ansarullah fighters and militants.
The clashes come amid the Saudi airstrikes against the impoverished Arab country.
Riyadh launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 without a UN mandate to undermine Ansarullah and restore power to Hadi.
In the latest airstrikes on Saturday, Saudi warplanes targeted residential areas in Sa'ada Province in the north. At least two women were killed in the raids. Three other people were also wounded in the attacks.
Saudi air raids targeted several areas in Ta'izz and Lahij provinces as well. The Mualla, Dar Sa'ad, and Tawahi districts of southern Aden were also bombed.
Last Wednesday, Rupert Colville, the spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said more than 3,800 people have been killed in Yemen since Riyadh launched its airstrikes.
