 344 civilians were killed and wounded by the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, in the Marib Governorate, in the east of the country, in less than 6 months.

The legitimate government reported that 344 civilians were killed and wounded in Marib, by Houthi militia fire, in just six months.

The statistics documented the killing of 104 civilians, 3 women, and 15 children, and the injury of 180 civilians, 12 women, and 30 children, as a result of the continuous shelling.

Information Minister Muammar Al-Eryani said that the Houthi militia targeted residential neighborhoods, displacement camps, civilians and the displaced in Marib Governorate during the period January 1 to June 10, with more than 55 Iranian-made ballistic missiles, 12 drones, 3 Katyusha rockets, 6 shells and 7 explosive devices.

Al-Eryani added, on his Twitter page, that the Houthis' bombing of residential neighborhoods, civilian objects and displacement camps in Marib are "systematic and deliberate killings of civilians, a flagrant violation of international laws and covenants, and amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity."

Al-Eryani called on the international community, the United Nations and the permanent members of the Security Council to "pressure the Houthi group to stop the daily killing of civilians with revenge motives, in which women and children are victimized, classify it as a terrorist organization, and prosecute its leaders as war criminals."
