DUBAI: Yemen’s Information Minister, Muammar al-Eryani, has condemned a Houthi attack against the house of a civilian in the central governorate of Ibb this week.

The mob, led by senior militant Badar Al-Assal, damaged part of the house and intimidated its occupants Mohammed Aldaas and his family – mouthing racial slurs, Yemen state news agency Saba reported.
Al-Eryani said: “This is not the first and will not be the last in the series of Houthi daily crimes against the people of Ibb.” 
Al-Eryani warned the militia against their continued abuse of civilians living in the governorate, which included killings and financial extortions.
