AMRAN, 21 July 2010 (IRIN) – Clashes between Houthi-led Shia rebels and pro-government tribesmen in northern Yemen since late evening on 18 July have left 35 people dead and at least 30 injured, straining a fragile February ceasefire, an Amran local council member, told IRIN.
Thirty of the deaths were in the Amashia area of Harf Sufyan District, Amran Governorate, some 120km north of the capital Sanaa, while five others were killed in Munabeh District, Saada Governorate.
The casualties were also reported by local independent news website nabanews.net, which said more than half of those killed were Houthi fighters.
