The Ibb Governorate, currently under Houthi control, faces escalating security chaos. Recently, a citizen was shot dead by an armed assailant in one of the province’s towns. This incident occurs amid a surge in attacks by armed gangs targeting residents’ homes across several districts.
Citizen Killed in Al-Sayani District
Local sources report that an individual named Mohammed Ahmed Naji shot and killed Ibrahim Ali Mohammed Saleh Al-Faqih in the village of Al-Abrah, located in the Al-Sayani district.

Additionally, inhabitants in the districts of Al-Sabra and Al-Makhader reported gunfire directed at their homes by armed individuals linked to local gangs supported by Houthi leaders. Notably, the homes of citizen Issam Shaddad and one of his neighbors in the Al-Maqnuda area of Al-Makhader faced direct targeting.
Local Demands for Security Enforcement
In the Al-Sabra district, local sources confirmed the presence of similar gangs firing at homes in the Ainain market, instilling fear among women and children. Residents continue to call for action against these rogue elements to restore order and curb the growing security crisis.
