The UN on Sunday condemned Yemeni rebels' execution of nine people for their alleged involvement in the killing of a top Huthi leader.
The rebels said they executed the nine individuals on Saturday for their involvement in the killing of Saleh al-Sammad, who was head of the Houthis' supreme political council, in a 2018 airstrike claimed by Saudi Arabia.
They were among 16 people convicted by a Houthi court.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres "deeply regrets" the executions, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement, adding that one of the people was reportedly a minor at time of detention.
