SANAA, 06 December 2021, (TON): Local officials and residents said “three Yemeni civilians were wounded when four missiles fired by the Iran-backed Houthis landed in residential areas in Yemen’s central city of Marib as heavy fighting rages outside the strategic city.”
Residents said “large explosions rocked the city after the four missiles hit the airport, Al-Shareka and Rawdha neighborhoods.”
Footage on social media showed thick smoke billowing from shelled areas as people fled.
Yemen’s Information Minister called on the UN and the US Yemen envoys to condemn the Houthi missile attacks and to designate the Houthi movement as a terrorist organization.
Moammar Al-Eryani said on Twitter “the Houthi militia’s repeated targeting of the city of Marib, which is crowded with millions of residents and displaced people, with ballistic missiles is part of its attempts to inflict a big number of casualties among civilians. This is a cowardly act of revenge.”
