A senior commander of Yemen's Houthi militia has been captured by southern secessionist forces allied to a Saudi-led coalition, the Southern Resistance movement said on its official Twitter account.
The message said without elaborating the militia captured Houthi military commander Abdul-Khaliq al-Houthi on Saturday.
Yemenis said Abdul-Khaliq al-Houthi, a brother of Houthi leader Abdul-Malek al-Houthi, played an important role in the militia's capture of the capital Sana’a in September.
He was one of several Yemenis blacklisted by the U.N. Security Council in November 2014 for allegedly threatening Yemen's peace and stability and obstructing political reform efforts.
