Crater police announce arrests of suspected Houthi associates
Aden Al-Ghad quoted Crater police chief Nabil Amer as announcing arrests and referrals to the relevant authorities for investigation, alleging links to Houthi cells. He said some detainees admitted links and others had images and information about vital sites on their phones.
