ADEN: Ten civilians were killed in bombardment of a crowded market and homes in western Yemen, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and local sources said Wednesday.
A shell struck a market in Taez, a city just inland from the Red Sea port of Mokha and under siege by Yemen’s Huthi rebels, MSF said on Twitter.The medical charity did not specify when the attack took place nor who was responsible.
Another seven civilians, including two women and a child, were killed Wednesday in Duraihimi to the north by rounds of mortar fire also blamed on Huthi fighters, local sources said.They said the bodies were pulled out from the rubble of two destroyed homes, as medics at nearby Khokha hospital confirmed the casualties.
Allied with Iran, the northern Huthis are locked in a war against the government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who is backed by a powerful military alliance led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
