Yemeni source says Houthi shelling kills and injures eight children in Taiz
Iran-backed Houthi rebels shelled a residential neighborhood on Saturday, killing at least three children from the same family, and wounding five others, a Yemeni local source told Khabar Agency. It was the latest attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis to leave civilian casualties.
The source said the Houthis fired a shell on the Camp neighborhood on the outskirts of the government-held city of Taiz.
