On the local television channel Al-Masirah, the Yemeni Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is controlled by the Husit militants, declared the destruction of Ali Abdullah Saleh. The report says the end of the fight against traitors and the establishment of complete control over their territories. In addition, the militants stressed that they killed the leader of the traitors, that is, the former president of Yemen, and his closest associates. First the Press TV channel reported that Saleh, his deputy Aref Zoka and the secretary general of the National Congress Party Yassir al-Avazi were killed in the explosion of the building in the eastern part of Sana'a. But later, the Sky News Arabia television channel specified that the former president of the country received a bullet in the head at the shelling. At this point, he and his assistant party leaders, fleeing a car from the capital of Yemen, tried to reach the province of Maarib. The General Secretary of the People's Congress Party Tarek al-Awadhi also died, and the son of Khalid Saleh was wounded.

Sky News Arabia reported with reference to sources that the body of the ex-president was delivered to the hospital in Sanaa. Representatives of the party "Universal People's Congress" confirmed the death of their leader, the channel Al-Arabiya. The humanitarian mission of the United Nations, after reports of the murder, demanded that civilians leave the country in order to prevent unjustified casualties among the population.

At the present time in the capital of Yemen and in other areas fierce battles between supporters of Saleh and insurgents.
