Houthis Release Over 100 War Prisoners in Yemen

Yemen's Houthi group released over 100 detainees in Sanaa, describing it as a "unilateral humanitarian initiative." The released individuals, mostly sick, wounded, and elderly, were claimed by the Houthis to be government soldiers, but Yemen's internationally recognized government contended they were civilians kidnapped by the Houthis. The International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed the release and ensured it was conducted humanely. Yemen has been in conflict since the Houthis took over the capital in 2014, with ongoing disruptions affecting global commerce and regional stability.
