ADEN: Huthi rebel rocket fire killed nine people, including a journalist and a child, in Yemen’s southwest province of Taez on Monday, a government official said. A barrage of six rockets rained down during the opening of a new security facility in the town of Nashma, killing four soldiers and five civilians, the official told AFP. The deputy interior minister of Yemen’s internationally-recognised government, as well as dozens of local residents, were in attendance, he said.
