Houthi missile attack kills three children in Yemen’s Taiz

AL-MUKALLA: Three children and 15 soldiers died in a Houthi missile attack on Sunday on a school in Yemen.

Military sources said the school in Kadha district in the west of Taiz governorate had previously been used as a base by the Iran-backed militia, and was recaptured when pro-government fighters seized Kadha last week.

The 15 government soldiers were inside the school when the Houthi missile struck. The dead children, two brothers and a relative, were near by.
