Local sources in Al-Dhala Governorate, southern Yemen, reported on Sunday evening that a woman sustained critical injuries after being targeted by sniper fire from the Houthi group, which is internationally designated as a terrorist organization. The incident occurred in the western part of the governorate.

According to the Yemeni Army's "September Net" website, the sources stated that the civilian, identified as Huda Mohammed Ahmed Nasser, 40 years old, was directly hit while passing through the village of Qurodh in the Hajar district by a sniper belonging to the Iran-backed Houthi group.
The sources indicated that the injured woman was immediately transferred to the field hospital in the Sanah area. She is currently receiving treatment and requires significant medical attention and close monitoring due to the severity of her condition.

Human rights reports have consistently accused the Houthi group of perpetrating serious violations against civilians in Al-Dhale', including sniper operations and direct targeting of residential neighborhoods, as well as indiscriminate shelling and the planting of landmines, in blatant violation of the rules of international humanitarian law.
