Residential neighborhoods affected by Houthi shelling in Yemen's Hodeidah

According to Xinhua, Fighters of the Houthi rebel group targeted on Friday houses of the citizens in the country's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, a military official said.
"The Houthi fighters used heavy weapons in their shelling that targeted mosques and citizens' houses in the district of Tuhyata causing partial damages," the local military source said on condition of anonymity.
He said that a number of residential neighborhoods were badly affected by the sporadic Houthi shelling that interrupted the citizens' livelihoods.
No casualties were reported as a result of the shelling that randomly landed on the residential areas of Tuhyata.
According to local residents in Hodeidah, the Houthi fighters continued to target densely populated neighborhoods controlled by the government forces despite the presence of the United Nations cease-fire monitoring team.
The Iran-allied Houthi rebels control much of Hodeidah while the Saudi-backed government troops have advanced to the southeastern districts.
Yemen has been locked in a civil war since the Houthi rebels seized all northern provinces, including the capital Sanaa, in 2014.
Saudi Arabia has been leading an Arab military coalition that intervened in Yemen's conflict in 2015 to support the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after Houthi rebels forced him into exile.
The prolonged military conflict has aggravated the suffering of Yemenis and deepened the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
