 Almasdaronline- Houthi militants and forces loyal to Saleh launched several raids against villages located in Utmnah district, broken into and looted houses and abducted many residents just days after they had seized control of the district, according to a local source. The same source has reported that the militiamen abducted over a hundred people on charges of backing pro-government popular resistance, and took them to an unknown destination. The Houthis conducted a thorough search of residents’ homes and looted contents in al-Shamr area under the pretext of searching for weapons controlled by the leader of popular resistance in Utmah, Mawadhah, who has already left for Marib province, emphasized local eyewitnesses. The source called on the pro-Houthi tribal leaders in the area to stand against the Houthis’ campaign “that violated the sanctity of the houses and spread panic among the women and children. “Few days back, dozens of Houthi militants on six military vehicles came to Lakam village, stormed the houses, and were searching the houses until dawn of the next day, after looting everything they could”.
