Houthi random shelling causes damage to some residential houses‏‏

A number of shells fired randomly by the Houthi rebels landed on a residential neighborhood in Hodeidah's southern parts, a military official said anonymously.

He confirmed that the shelling caused damage to some residential houses in Tuhyata area of Hodeidah in addition to injuring several citizens living there.

The Houthis seized the northern Yemeni provinces including the capital Sanaa in late 2014.

A coalition formed by Saudi Arabia and several other Arab countries intervened militarily in the conflict to fight against the Houthis in March 2015, in response to an official request from Hadi to protect Yemen.
