Storyline:

Houthi shelling killed a child on Friday and injured his parents as they stood outside their house in a village southwest of the city of Taiz. A shelling was launched from Hadhran sub-district in Taiz, one of the strongholds of the Houthi militias, according to local sources. The incident came following a truce announced last month, which Houthis did not respect. The group broke the truce by bombing residential neighborhoods and sniping civilians in the city of Taiz.
