Aden (Debriefer) The Yemeni UN-recognized government condemns with the strongest words the Houthi targeting of the Thawra Hospital in the southwestern city of Taiz, Yemen's information minister tweeted on Monday, dismissing the mortar shelling as blatant violation of international laws.
The Houthi bombardment left material damages and panic to patients and staff of a hospital serving thousands of civilians in Taiz city that has been under Houthi siege for seven years now, Moammar al-Eryani added.
The Yemeni minister criticized the international silence at the Houthi war crimes suffered by Yemen's most populated province.

Two of the shells hit the hospital, but other shells landed in the neighboring quarter, the sources said.
