A brother of Abdel-Malek Al Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement which has been fighting a war against forces backed by a Saudi-led military coalition since 2015, has been “assassinated”, the group said yesterday. Ibrahim Badreddin Al Houthi was found dead in a house in Sana’a and the group has deployed additional forces around the city in response, a security source said.
The Houthis’ Interior Ministry put out a statement in which it blamed the killing on “the treacherous hands affiliated with the US-Israeli aggression and its tools”.
