At least three civilians were killed in a ballistic missile attack launched by the Houthi militia in the country's conflict ridden oil-rich province of Marib, a government official told Xinhua.
Nearly 13 other civilians including children were injured as a result of the ballistic missile attack, the official said.
Later Tuesday night, the Houthi militia claimed responsibility for launching two ballistic missiles in Marib, adding that it had "targeted the Sahn al-Jen camp and the 3rd Region camp".
The Iran-backed Houthis started a major offensive against the Saudi-backed Yemeni government troops to capture the oil-rich province.
Marib hosts nearly 2 million internally displaced people, as the ongoing civil war has killed tens of thousands of people and taken the Arab nation to the brink of famine, according to aid agencies.
The UN has warned that the offensive on Marib could lead to a major humanitarian catastrophe.
