Ministry of Interior Warns Citizens Against Houthi Text Messages

The Ministry of Interior has issued a warning to citizens in liberated provinces, particularly in the temporary capital, Aden. The warning addresses the deceptive text messages disseminated by Houthi militias through the “Yemen Mobile” and “You” networks. These messages aim to mislead, lure, and spread rumors, ultimately destabilizing security and stability.

Citizens Urged to Ignore Misleading Messages

In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Ministry urged citizens to disregard these messages. It advised against sharing or responding to the misleading calls and promises contained within them. The Ministry cautioned that many individuals who fell for the false promises of the Houthi militias ended up victims of kidnapping, enforced disappearance, torture, and other forms of abuse.

Houthi Use of Communication Networks Condemned

The Ministry of Interior emphasized that the use of communication and internet networks for Houthi propaganda, as well as for planning and executing missile and drone attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, constitutes war crimes. These crimes do not fall under statutes of limitations and require legal accountability. The security forces will pursue anyone found to be involved in these crimes, whether directly or indirectly.

Call for Vigilance and Reporting Suspicious Activities

The Ministry of Interior called on citizens to remain vigilant and informed. It encouraged them to obtain information from official sources and to cooperate with security agencies. Citizens should report any suspicious messages or activities related to the Houthi militias to ensure their safety and to promote public security and tranquility.
