Taiz – A Yemeni civilian was killed Saturday morning by Houthi sniper fire in Maqbana district, western Taiz governorate, less than 24 hours after a woman was critically wounded in the same area. Local sources reported that Abdul Latif Jamil was targeted by Houthi snipers stationed at Al‑Ghubra hill while riding his motorcycle along the al‑Qash‘a road. Residents say Maqbana district has witnessed a surge in sniper attacks by Houthi forces, forming a disturbing pattern of violence against civilians in frontline areas. The repeated assaults have left growing numbers of victims, particularly women, children, and unarmed residents. The killings highlight the ongoing humanitarian toll of the conflict in Taiz, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of indiscriminate attacks.
