TAIZ - SABA
Houthis have fired shells and injured six schoolboys in the central Yemeni city of Taiz on Sunday, a local source told Saba.

The Iran-backed militants “fired two shells on a school in Al-Rowdha neighborhood at noon time” when the students had just left the school “heading to their homes,” said the source, adding they were hospitalized at once. Taiz Rights Center said the militants “timed their shelling on purpose” to coincide with the return of students in droves back to their homes.

The source provided the name of the injured and their ages as follows: Yusuf Abdulkarim Alshalabi 13, Omar Taher Ghaleb Ali 18, Shujaa Mohammed Abdu Sayf 15, Anas Faysal Mulhi 13, Yaseen Faysal Mulhi 12, and Mohammed Sallal Ali Saad 18.
