A young girl was shot dead by Houthi militants in central Yemen's Ibb governorate on Monday، local sources have said.

In Al-Ka'ida city، south of Ibb، Houthi militants exchanged fire over a land dispute and killed eight-year-old Safaa Abdulaziz.

In the militant-controlled Ibb governorate، where lawlessness is rife، Houthi terrorists have been continuously killing civilians in direct purposeful and unintended assaults.

Yemen has been embroiled in a  war since late 2014، when the Houthi rebel fighters invaded a number of northern provinces and drove the Yemeni government out of the capital city of Sanaa، then the Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened to support the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

The years-long military conflict has resulted in a dire humanitarian situation in Yemen، with millions needing assistance and access to basic necessities.
