Houthi attacks kill 2 soldiers, wound 3 civilians in Taiz, Lahj

AL-MUKALLA, 31 October 2022, (TON): A mortar shell fired by the Iran-backed Houthis into residential areas in Yemen’s city of Taiz seriously injured three children, less than a day after the Houthis killed two servicemen and injured one in another strike in Yemen’s southern province of Lahj.

Three children who live close to an old airfield west of Taiz were reportedly shepherding their sheep when a Houthi mortar bomb fired from the city’s outskirts struck the ground, seriously wounding them.

Maher Al-Abasi, a local human rights activist who saw the children, told Arab News that one child was evacuated right away to an intensive care unit at Rawada hospital as doctors severed one of the other children’s legs to save them.
