Yemen indiscriminately bombing Southern provinces, 6 dead, scores wounded
The regime is using the same tactics in the South that it employed during the Sa'ada war that drove the war to six rounds, six years and thousands of casualties without resolution. Later reports indicate three dead including a child and eleven seriously wounded.
Update: Death toll rises to six. Gruesome photos here. Reports indicate security forces turned back an ambulance. Another English report here.

Eyewitnesses said the army had shelled the town centre "indiscriminately".
