        The Houthi group on Wednesday launched a drone attack on a school in Yemen's southwestern Taiz city, injuring four students, a local government official told Xinhua.
        The official said on condition of anonymity that "the drone attack targeted al-Hinayah School in the western outskirts of Taiz city, leaving four students critically injured."
        Meanwhile, the state-run Saba news agency reported that government forces successfully thwarted two Houthi infiltration attempts into the government-controlled areas in Taiz.
        The Houthi group has not issued any statement regarding these incidents.
        Yemen has been embroiled in a devastating civil war since late 2014, with the Houthis fighting against the internationally-recognized Yemeni government.
        In 2015, the Houthi group entered Taiz province and surrounded its namesake capital, Taiz. Although the city remains under the control of the Yemeni government, it is still being besieged by Houthi forces.
