At least 31 civilians were killed and 70 injured on Wednesday when the Shia Houthi militia shelled a neighborhood in northern Yemen’s Aden province, according to a source from the Popular Resistance, which supports embattled President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

The source told Anadolu Agency that Houthi militants had carried out a number of mortar strikes on the province’s Al-Mansura neighborhood.

Eyewitnesses also confirmed the attack.

On March 25, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies began an extensive air campaign targeting Houthi positions across Yemen.
