A civilian woman succumbed to injuries sustained from gunfire by a Houthi sniper on Saturday in the Wadi Sala area, east of Taiz city in southwestern Yemen. Sources confirmed that the citizen, Katiba Ahmed Ismail, was struck by a sniper round while present in the area, leading to her death from the wounds inflicted. This incident is reportedly part of an ongoing series of targeted attacks against civilians in the eastern districts of Taiz, where militia sniper positions are situated on elevated ground overlooking residential neighborhoods. The fronts surrounding Taiz city have experienced recurrent sniping operations targeting non-combatants for several years, amidst ongoing accusations leveled against the Houthi militia for the continuous targeting of populated areas. |
