A Houthi ballistic missile attack on a mosque and a religious school killed and injured 29 civilians, including women and children, in the Yemeni province of Marib, the country’s information minister said in a statement on Twitter on Monday.
Two ballistic missiles were used in the attack late on Sunday, Marib governor’s office said in a statement.
Fighting between legitimate government forces and the Iran-backed Houthi militias has escalated in recent months.
The United Nations says some 10,000 people were displaced in September by fighting in Marib. It is calling for a humanitarian corridor for aid.
