At least one child was killed and five others wounded after Houthi rebels fired a shell in the city of Marib, reported Yemen's state-run SABA news agency on Saturday.
SABA stated that two of the wounded children were in critical condition.
The conflict in Yemen began with the 2014 takeover of the capital, Sanaa, by Houthi rebels.
A Saudi-led coalition allied with the government has been fighting the rebels since March 2015.

The conflict has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis and pushed thousands of Yemenis to the brink of starvation.
