ME_Observer says the Yemeni news agency Saba reported Saudi artillery shelling of two homes in Al-Shimaytin, south of Taiz, killing four children and wounding two. The report does not give the occurrence date or identify the exact homes. A previously published 30 October report described a Saudi aircraft strike on a home in the same district; this artillery report is kept separate because it identifies a different weapon and target count, but its relationship is not established.
