Yemen: Intense fighting between Government forces and Houthi rebels leaves 10 killed in south
At least 10 soldiers were killed on Tuesday in heavy fighting between pro-government Yemeni troops and Houthi militants in the southern province of Dhalea, a military officer told Xinhua.
The intense confrontations broke out after “scores of Houthi fighters launched an armed attack and attempted to advance into key areas in the province,” said the source on condition of anonymity.
The Houthi attack was aborted by the government forces following hours of ferocious fighting near the Qatabah district in northern Dhalea, he added.
The fighting left at least 10 people killed from the two warring sides and nearly 14 others injured, according to the official.
