A Houthi sniper shot injured a child in central Yemen's Taiz on Friday, local sources have said.

The sniper, stationed in Al-Alqyoos village in Al-silw district south of the province shot injured 11 year old Yaser Mohammed Abduh while he was playing near his house, the sources said.

Snipers from the Shiit terrorist group, known as Houthis, have been continuously killing civilians mainly women and children in Taiz since 2015 as the militia's military forces keep otherwise genociding civilians individually and en mass.
