Shelling launched by the Houthi rebels killed a Yemeni woman and injured 11 others in the country's southwestern province of Taiz on Monday, a government official said.
"A number of shells fired by the Houthis landed on residential neighborhoods in the eastern part of Taiz province, leaving a woman killed and 11 others injured," the local government source said on condition of anonymity.
He confirmed that around four children were among the 11 injured.
Residential houses were partially affected by the randomly fired artillery shells in Taiz, according to the Yemeni official.
The Yemeni government forces, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, have been locked in clashes with the Iran-allied Houthi rebels in the north, east and west of Taiz since April 2015.
Yemen has been mired into a civil war since late 2014, when Houthis overran much of the country and seized all northern provinces, including the capital Sanaa.
