Houthi militants kidnapped three unsuspecting government soldiers from a village in south Yemen’s Dhale’a and executed them immediately, local sources said.
The Defense Ministry’s news website “26 September” quoted the sources as saying, “The Houthis kidnapped and executed the army soldiers, Saleh Aburaheem, Mohsen Hashrah and Abdusalam Tawfik, by fire squad right after they kidnapped them in their village of Mahqan” in Dhale’a province.
“The (Houthi) militia still kidnap two other soldiers … and no one knows anything on their whereabouts,” said the source.
