Four people were killed and injured in a land dispute fueled by Houthi militia in Amran.

A violent land dispute in the Iman Province has resulted in the deaths of three individuals from the same family and left another person injured. The conflict, fueled by the Houthi militia, erupted in the town of Houth.

Background of the Conflict

Local sources reported that a long-standing disagreement among members of the “Kara” family escalated into armed confrontation on the evening of the incident. The dispute centered around a piece of land, which the Houthi militia has reportedly exacerbated.

Victims and Injuries

The deceased include Amin Mohsen Kara, Silan Ahmed Hadi Kara, and Nasr Abdullah Hadi Kara. In addition, Adil Hadi Kara sustained moderate injuries during the clash.

Lack of Resolution and Escalation

Sources indicated that the conflict had persisted for an extended period without resolution. The appointed director of the district, aligned with the Houthi militia, reportedly favored one side in the dispute. This bias contributed to the escalation of tensions, ultimately leading to violence.

Rising Violence in Houthi-Controlled Areas

The Iman Province, under Houthi control, has witnessed a significant increase in violent incidents related to land disputes. Reports indicate that Houthi leaders are often involved in these conflicts, further intensifying the situation.

This tragic incident highlights the ongoing challenges in areas governed by the Houthi militia, where land disputes frequently escalate into deadly confrontations.
