Local sources told September Net “A 11-year-old boy Mohamed Naser Ghaleb was killed and his little brother, 6, sustained injuries by Houthi militia’s mortars’ rockets on a residential village in Makbana, west of Taiz.

The Iran-backed Houthi putschist militia invaded Yemen’s third largest city, Taiz, in 2014, and since then they have been laying a tightened siege around the city’s entrances, denying access of food and medicine, heavily and randomly targeting the civilians with artillery and Katusha rockets and direct snipers attacks, resulting in the killing and wounding of thousands of unarmed citizens
