[AnNahar] At least 22 people were killed in a Huthi rebel missile strike on a mosque south of the strategic Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i city of Marib, officials said on Monday.
"Twenty-two people, including children, were killed and 19 others were maimed in a Huthi missile attack on a mosque... in al-Jawba district" on Sunday night, a pro-government military official told AFP.
Yemen's Information Minister Muammar al-Eryani said on Twitter that 29 people were killed in the attack.
Possibly the same attack, reported a few hours earlier: Houthi Missiles Kill at Least 10 Civilians
[AnNahar] At least 10 non-combatants were killed and 25 maimed when two ballistic missiles from Yemen's Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels stuck a religious educational facility in the central province of Marib, officials said Monday.
The missiles hit Dar al-Hadith - a religious school and a mosque - in the residential neighborhood of al-Aumd late Sunday and the casualties included women and kiddies, they said.
The attack also damaged nearby houses, said the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief media.
There was no immediate comment from the Iranian-backed Houthis, who have attempted for months to take oil-rich Marib to complete their control over the northern half of Yemen.
The facility includes a religious school and a mosque attended by about 1,200 Moslem students from across the country. Most of the students and teachers left the area last month as the Houthis made progress in their offensive on Marib.
Muammar al-Iryani, information minister of the internationally recognized government, said the casualties included women and kiddies.
"This horrific massacre comes after a series of systematic killings of civilians that the terrorist Houthi militia committed in the past few days" in the government-held cities of Marib and Taiz, he said.
A Houthi ballistic missile struck the house of a key tribal leader in al-Aumd on Thursday, killing at least 11 civilians and wounding 16 others.
On Saturday, the Houthis shelled the residential Camp neighborhood on the outskirts of the government-held city of Taiz, killing at least three children from the same family. At least six other children were maimed, according to al-Iryani.
Meanwhile in Tazi, government forces and allied tribal fighters launched an offensive late Sunday on the last remaining pocket held by the Houthis on the city's the south western outskirts.
The government-run SABA news agency reported Monday that at least seven Houthi fighters were killed including a field commander, and six others were maimed.
