News - Yemen: A growing state of security chaos and escalating lawlessness continues to grip the occupied city of Taiz and other areas controlled by the US-Saudi-UAE coalition and its allied factions, in a scene that underscores the depth of security fragmentation and the inability of these groups to maintain stability or protect civilians.

Local sources confirmed that an improvised explosive device detonated in a parked vehicle near the Security Administration of Al-Shamaytayn district in the city of Al-Turba, south of Taiz—an area controlled by coalition-aligned militias. The incident signals that the wave of insecurity now extends even to security compounds administered by these factions.

According to the sources, the explosion triggered panic among residents, while the circumstances of the incident remain unclear amid conflicting narratives from the competing authorities in the area.

The blast reflects the extent of the security collapse that has become a daily reality in areas under coalition control, where bombings, assassinations, armed raids, and clashes between rival factions are increasingly common in the absence of effective institutions capable of enforcing order or holding perpetrators accountable.

Observers note that the persistence of such incidents is a natural consequence of the coalition’s policies, which have dismantled administrative and security structures and fueled internal rivalries among its proxies, leaving these regions vulnerable to crime and unchecked instability.

They add that the Al-Turba explosion is another episode in a growing pattern of disorder sweeping Taiz and other occupied areas, amid the complicity of mercenary groups preoccupied with power struggles and territorial influence on behalf of Saudi and Emirati forces, rather than restoring security, protecting civilians, or addressing deteriorating services.

Taiz and other occupied provinces face ongoing chaos, marked by killings, kidnappings, and torture of civilians. Local security forces, complicit in these crimes, have failed to protect the population.

These repeated violations amount to war crimes and breach international human rights law, yet global organizations remain largely silent, offering no accountability for the suffering inflicted on civilians.
