The Ibb Governorate in central Yemen is witnessing great unrest against the backdrop of the ongoing Houthi murders and kidnappings of tribal leaders, academics and social figures in the governorate.

The Saudi newspaper Okaz said from its tribal sources: The tribes are continuing their gatherings in response to the tribal discord against the backdrop of the militia’s refusal to hand over the Houthi supervisor involved in the killing of the tribal leader Sadiq Abu Shaar in Sanaa with more than 50 bullets and hiding his body for some time, indicating that the tribes are threatening escalation in light of The militia’s procrastination and threats to them.

On the other hand, Yemeni human rights activists confirmed that the Houthis kidnapped the academic specializing in medicinal chemistry, Dr. Ali Nour al-Din, and transferred him to a secret prison at the Houthi intelligence headquarters in Ibb, indicating that the kidnapping occurred as a result of a snitch from one of his students whom he taught at a private university.

According to a military source in the axis leadership, several areas east of the city of Taiz were bombed with various types of weapons, and military sites of the National Army were also bombed.
