The body of Sheikh Samhan Abdul Aziz al Rawi, a commander of the Popular Resistance, was found in Yemen's southern port city of Aden.

According to a Yemeni security source, al Rawi was assassinated and his body was found in Aden's neighborhood known as Mansoura, Al Arabiya reported on Sunday.

Al Rawi, who was one of the leaders of the Popular Resistance in Aden, was reportedly fighting with the resistance during recent clashes with Houthi militias two weeks ago.

A security official said al Rawi was likely to have been kidnapped in the Mansoura neighborhood.
