ADEN- Three journalists were killed and two others were wounded in a shelling by the Houthi and Saleh militias on the city of Taiz this Friday morning. Wayel Al-Absi, Taqyo Al-Adeen Al-Hodheifi and Saad Al-Nidhari, three photo journalists, were killed while covering the ongoing battles around the Ceremonials Military Camp, east of Taiz.
Waleed Al-Qadasi, a fourth journalist, was wounded and had one of his legs amputated. Salah Adeen, the fifth and last sustained shrapnel in his right hand and now is in hospital.
The attacks on the journalists prompted Yemen's Ministry of Mass Media to strongly denounce the attack calling it a massacre.
In a statement, the Ministry said: "The massacre against journalists is part of the massacres the militias have been waging against the densely populated areas, causing dozens of deaths and injuries including among women and children.
The massacres against civilians and journalists require legal action and handling as war crimes by international courts."
