Yemeni officials say a journalist who was critical of the Saudi-led coalition has been arrested.
The officials say Fathy bin Lazrq, the editor-in-chief of Aden Al Ghad newspaper, was arrested in the southern city of Aden today, and that his whereabouts are unknown.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
The coalition has been at war with Yemen's Houthi rebels since March 2015 on behalf of the internationally recognized government.
Coalition forces are based in Aden, while the rebels control the capital, Sanaa.
On Facebook, bin Lazrq had accused the coalition of failing to provide basic services and dismissed as untrue reports that the coalition provides millions of dollars in aid.
The UN considers war-torn Yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
