An elderly man was shot injured by a Houthi sniper north of the besieged Yemeni city of Taiz on Monday, local sources have said.

Sixty-year-old Abdulqawi Mohammed was wandering in front of his house by the 40-Meter road when a Houthi terrorist stationed in a military position on a Al-Saberi hilltop gunned him down.

Houthi terrorists have shot dead and injured thousands of civilians in the central Yemen city which they have been besieging for more than eight years.
