The children were terrified. Watch how the militia destroyed the governor’s house in Marib.

In an act described as cowardly by the Yemeni information minister, the Houthi militia reduced the governor’s house in Marib to rubble, horrifying children and women.

Pictures and scenes from the scene showed the house largely destroyed, while damage was clear inside.

Simultaneously, the Yemeni government denounced the targeting of the Iranian-backed militias, the governor of Marib, Sultan Al-Aradah, in the Al-Wadi district with two ballistic missiles, which led to the intimidation of women. and children and caused serious damage to the house, hospital, mosque and a number of neighboring houses.

cowardly act

Yemeni Information Minister Muammar Al-Eryani said in a series of tweets on his Twitter account last night that the terrorist targeting of the house of Al-Arada was “a cowardly act of revenge that confirms the state of bankruptcy that the militia is going through, after the failure of all its attempts to undermine the firmness of the governorate of Ma’rib and its inhabitants. “

He also called on the international community and United Nations and United States envoys to condemn the attack and all attacks on residential neighborhoods, houses and camps for internally displaced persons in the governorate of Marib, as war crime and flagrant violation of international laws and covenants.

In addition, he called for bringing before the International Criminal Court those responsible for these attacks, among the leaders and members of the Houthi militia, as “war criminals”.

It should be noted that the governor of Marib was inspecting his house after the Houthi militia targeted him. In statements to the media, he stressed that the battle between the Yemenis and the Houthi terrorist militia is bigger than the question of targeting people, buildings and stones, but rather a battle of identity and history.

escalate attacks

It should be noted that in February 2021, the Houthi militia stepped up its attacks and military operations to control oil-rich Marib with the aim of strengthening its position in political negotiations.

Despite calls from international humanitarian organizations, the United Nations and the United States to end the war and the Houthi attacks on the governorate, which is home to thousands of displaced people, the militias continued their attempts to advance, without achieve tangible results, amid resistance from the army and tribal fighters.
