What happened
UN experts documented the killing of activists Riham al-Badr and Mumin Saeed Hammoud Rissam in Sala, Taiz, on 8 February 2018 while assisting families near the frontlines. The experts described apparently indiscriminate fire from a medium-heavy weapon, possibly an anti-aircraft round, fired from a Houthi position.
Early news coverage described sniper fire. The record therefore does not treat the weapon type as settled.
