The Iran-backed Houthi militias shelled a sports center in Yemen’s besieged southwestern city of Taiz on Saturday, killing a former football player and his son and injuring others.
“The Houthi arterially bombardment hit Al-Ahly Club stadium in Taiz, killing Captain Nasser al-Rimi, the player of Al-Talia’a club and his younger son, and injured others who were on the stadium,” security sources and medics reported.
The same sources explained that Al-Rimi and his son “were practicing sports during the morning at the Al-Ahly Club stadium, before a Houthi shell fell on them.”
