A Houthi missile strike on a village in Yemen's Taiz region killed or wounded nearly 60 civilians, including children, according to Yemen's government forces.
The army says a ballistic missile hit Al-Makhaf village in the Al-Aqroud area, and the Houthis have not commented on the incident. The strike is part of a wider escalation in Taiz, where government forces say they repelled a Houthi attack in the same area, with one soldier killed and 14 wounded.
Taiz has been one of the most bitterly contested fronts in Yemen's civil war, and the civilian toll keeps rising as fighting that resumed in force this autumn pushes deeper into populated areas. For the families in these villages, the front line is not a map, it is the market, the school and the road home.
