The kidnappings of children included a group of children from the Al-Shabibi family who were on a bus on the ring road in the city of Ibb, holding national flags. They were intercepted by a Houthi vehicle and taken to a police station. Houthi elements also intercepted cars with women and children on Route 16 west of the city of Ibb, and took them to a security facility affiliated with them for the same reasons.

Ibb Governorate went crazy with the Houthis
Today they arrest young children.
The sons of my friend Ismail Al-Shabibi and his brother's sons went out with their uncle on the bus to the ring road to walk with the flags of the Republic 🇾🇪.
Suddenly, Houthi gunmen stopped them in a pickup truck, stopped them, and arrested them.
Now they have it from 8 o'clock after the evening prayer until now.

It is noteworthy that the people of Ibb Governorate, in the governorate center and its directorates, had defied the repressive measures practiced by the Houthi militia against them and celebrated from the roofs of their homes and from the heights by lighting the flame of the September Revolution and launching fireworks in celebration of it, and documented that on social media.
