Five civilians killed, injured by new Houthi ballistic missile hit Marib

Five civilians were killed and injured on Thursday afternoon in Marib as Iran-backed Houthi coup militia continue to fire ballistic missiles into the government-held city in the country's east.

Local sources said one person was killed and four others were injured in Al-Matar, a neighborhood in the densely populated and small city.

The neighborhood's houses were largely damaged by the missile, one of several ballistic and Katyucha missiles the militia had fired into the city over the past few days. But this is the fourth ballistic missile to hit the city within a week.

The previous one, last Tuesday, injured four civilians and incinerated five business stores and two cars in Aziraah neighborhood on the other side of the city.
