Summary

Video footage circulated on October 6 purportedly showing Yemeni government forces driving armored vehicles over Houthi opponents during operations near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Reuters verified the videos, which depict armored vehicles striking fighters, some armed and some unarmed, with some seated or lying on the ground. The Houthis condemned the actions as war crimes. The Saudi-led coalition and Yemeni government forces have not publicly commented on the accusations. The incident occurred during a broader Saudi-backed counteroffensive in which government forces claimed to have recaptured territory around the strait and the port city of Mocha from Houthi control.
