At least two people were killed and seven others wounded in shelling attributed to Houthi forces in Yemen's Taiz province, according to Anadolu Agency, which cited local sources.
Those killed and wounded reportedly include a 14-day-old infant and a woman, with several other children among the injured, the report said. Further details on the exact location within Taiz, the timing of the attack, or the circumstances leading to it were not included in the available source material.
Taiz, one of Yemen's largest cities, has been a frequent flashpoint in the country's long-running civil conflict, with front lines in and around the city shifting intermittently between Houthi forces and groups aligned with Yemen's internationally recognized government.
Ongoing conflict
Yemen's civil war, which escalated in 2014 when Houthi forces took control of the capital Sanaa, has continued to produce periodic bouts of violence in contested areas even during phases of broader de-escalation. Casualty reports from areas like Taiz are frequently difficult to verify independently in real time.
No group has been reported as claiming responsibility beyond the attribution to Houthi forces cited in the original report.
