SANAA – A Yemeni government official said Tuesday that Houthi rebels fired two missiles in a government-held city killing at least three people, including a child.
The missiles landed in the Rawdha neighbourhood in the central city of Marib, according to Ali al-Ghulisi, the provincial governor’s press secretary.
At least 10 other people, including two children, were wounded in the attack, al-Ghulisi said.
A Houthi spokesman was not immediately available for comment, AP reported.
Tuesday’s missiles landed in the same neighbourhood where a Houthi missile and explosive-laden drone attack hit a gas station earlier this month, killing at least 21 people, including a father and his 2-year-old daughter.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels have been attempting since February to capture Marib from the internationally recognised government, which would complete their control over the northern part of Yemen.
