The U.N. envoy for Yemen on Sunday condemned suspected rebel shelling of a residential neighborhood in the southwestern city of Taiz the previous day that killed at least one child and wounded 10.
Taiz, Yemen's third largest city and the capital of the province by the same name, has been under blockade since 2016, imposed by the Houthi rebels, who are waging war against the country's internationally recognized government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition.
According to Fathi al-Saqqaf, an eyewitness, a group of children were playing in an open area in Taiz's neighborhood of Zaid al-Moshki when the attack took place on Saturday. A house was also damaged in the shelling, the eyewitness said.
