Drone strike
On April 26, 2025, a Houthi drone strike killed Yemeni journalist and filmmaker Musab al-Hattami and injured his brother, photographer Suhaib al-Hattami, while they were filming near the frontline of a battle between forces of the internationally recognized government and Houthi fighters in Yemen’s central Marib province.
Al-Hattami had left Yemen for Jordan to study film, later relocating to the Netherlands, where he became a citizen. He worked as a freelance filmmaker and journalist, contributing to several outlets, including Al Jazeera.
He had recently returned to Yemen with his wife to film a documentary about his parents’ hometown. Three government soldiers were also killed in the strike.
