Renewed clashes have erupted between forces loyal to the internationally-recognised Yemeni government and the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Abyan Governorate, south-east of Yemen.
A RT correspondent said the clashes erupted one day after the pro-government forces brought reinforcements from Marib governorate to the coastal city of Shakra.
According to RT, the clashes which included exchanges of artillery and missile strikes are the fiercest since the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement in June.
