Houthi Rebels Detonate Government Employee's Home
Published 1 years ago
Strange video filmed in the classic style of the Houthi Rebels shows the destruction of a Yemeni Government employees home in the village of Zour. Several massive barrel bombs were used to carry out the attack and completely demolish the compound.
Unfortunately, the Houthi Rebels are amongst the worst at providing context with their combat footage when they release it, often leaving much of that up to interpretation. So, while I can't say for sure that the home was empty, I find it unlikely that the guys emplacing the explosives stayed inside of the building, or that anyone just coming home wouldn't have seen the devices immediately.
If more context about this video becomes available in the future, I'll be sure to update this post. For now, this is just a really big explosive attack carried out against the only home with an air conditioner.
