The fighting between the government troops, backed by loyal tribesmen and Al-Houthi followers renewed over the past two days, leaving some 60 people killed on both sides and other dozens injured, the NUPO mouthpiece reported. It quoted a Yemeni government source as saying the military and security troops restored Razeh district and controlled a government facility, which has been controlled by the Houthi-led rebels for more than one month. The source described the clashes as the fiercest ever since the fourth war erupted in January.
According to the source, what happens in the restive province of Sa'ada is an internal affair hoping that the conflicting parties reach a peaceful solution to the fighting. The newspaper stated that the Libyan Foreign Minister denied that his government has a hand in Sa'ada clashes. This confirmed the Libyan leader's statement to Aljazzeera Satellite Channel that he knows nothing about Houthis.
