Houthis Kill 5 in Shelling of Wedding Hall in Latest Hodeidah Massacre

Five women were killed and seven others wounded, including children, in shelling by the Iran-backed Houthi militias of a wedding hall in the city of Hodeidah on Friday, revealed Yemeni sources.

The hall lies in a neighborhood bordering government- and Houthi-held regions.

Spokesperson of the national resistance forces Sadiq Dwaid condemned the vicious crime committed by the Houthis.

He told AFP that the militias carried out the attack despite the Stockholm Agreement.

It clearly shows that the Houthis are determined to continue their escalation against the Yemeni people in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, he added.

Yemeni Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani slammed the terrorist Houthis for the massacre.

Such acts demonstrate the militias’ mentality that is based on violence, murder and the disregard of people’s lives, he tweeted.

The crime is a result of the international community’s silence and disregard of the Houthis’ ongoing violations since their coup, he stressed.
