Taiz, Oct 13 (V7N)- At least five civilians, including three children, were injured in shelling attributed to Houthi rebels in the southwestern Yemeni city of Taiz, Al Jazeera reported.
Yemen’s state news agency Saba reported the casualties on Tuesday (October 13).
According to the report, four members of the same family were injured in an attack in the city’s Al-Dhahra area. The injured included children aged between four and 12.
A 30-year-old woman was also wounded in a separate shelling incident in the nearby Bir Basha area.
Taiz has long been a major battleground between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
Both sides have recently claimed progress in the conflict, which has continued to affect civilians across the country.
