[Yemen Post] Two non-combatants were killed and three injured after government forces bombarded residential areas in northern regions of Taiz. Two of the injured are children and one of them is at death's door.

's regime.

The pro democracy youth in Taiz freedom square condemned the attack and called on the international community to stop the attacks of the regime against unarmed civilians.

Taiz has been out of government control over since May, and governmental forces have been clashing with pro revolution rustics for the last month.

At least 45 people were killed in July in ongoing festivities.
