The Yemeni army on Wednesday accused the Iran-backed Houthi rebels of executing three soldiers in the southern province of Ad Dali’.
Houthi rebels abducted five soldiers in the province and gunned down three of them, the army’s September Net website said.
The fate of the two other soldiers remains unknown.
Yemen has been beset by violence and chaos since 2014, when Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including the capital Sanaa.
