At least 14 Houthi rebels were killed and 28 more injured in clashes with Yemeni government forces, sources said Thursday.
The clashes occurred in the coastal province of Al-Hudaydah, according to the sources, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
They said the Houthis were trying to infiltrate government bases in the Ad-Durayhimi, At-Tuhayta, and Al-Fazeh districts of the western province and met resistance from government forces.
Houthi rebels control the city center and the port in al-Hudaydah, while the government forces hold the southern and eastern entrances of the city.
