Local authorities in Yemen's Taiz province have called for an immediate investigation into reports that Houthi forces may have used artillery shells containing toxic and banned substances. The official news agency of the Yemeni government, Saba, reported on Wednesday, November 6, that this request was made after receiving reports from the Al-Ajz and Kulan fronts. According to these reports, a number of civilians and local resistance forces suffered from suffocation symptoms and some lost consciousness after artillery attacks. The local authorities of Taiz demanded the registration of medical documents, the identification of possible substances in the pills and the participation of the UN and international organizations in the investigation. They also warned that the continuation of the attacks could lead to an escalation of the conflicts and emphasized that if the use of prohibited substances is proven, the perpetrators must be held accountable according to international laws. Muammar al-Aryani, the Yemeni government's minister of information, said in September 1404 that the Houthis, in cooperation with the Islamic Republic, had established a factory for the production of chemical weapons.
