A Telegram channel shared a firsthand account alleging that prisoners were deliberately taken from Taiz prisons, wounded and bound, and then run over by armored vehicles. The source, claiming to be part of the "legitimate government" forces, stated that survivors were shot and driven towards the sea to create a false narrative of Houthi escapees.

The source, identified only as 'Sama' in a private message, stated that the prisoners were brought from Aden prisons to an area near Dubaba. They claimed the incident was staged to film a video of Houthi fighters supposedly fleeing and dying, with "legitimate government" forces allegedly binding the prisoners and running them over with vehicles, then shooting survivors to drive them towards the sea. The source requested the information remain confidential.
