The Yemeni Coalition for Monitoring Human Rights Violations (YCMHRV) has condemned the Houthi killing and injury of 20 civilians in Yemen's central city of Taiz on Monday.

The YCMHRV called on the international human rights organizations and the OHCHR to assume their role in documenting these atrocities "which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity."
