Yemeni forces killed 16 people and injured more than 50 when they shelled the southern city of Taiz to suppress anti-government demonstrators at Friday prayers, a protest activist said.
A nine-year-old child was among the dead, Taha Sharabi, who’s also a doctor at the al-Rawdah hospital, said today in a telephone interview. The shelling also killed four women and prompted a general strike in the city today, according to Ahmed al-Wafi, another protester.
