More than 20 people were killed in clashes in Yemen’s northern province of Al-Jawf late Sunday as government troops tried to reclaim positions lost months ago to the Houthi group.
Yemen’s internationally recognized government has been fighting the Iran-allied insurgents since 2014, when the Houthis seized much of the north including the capital Sanaa.
A government military source said 16 Houthis and eight loyalists were killed in clashes Sunday night.
Government troops captured more than 40 rebels, the source told AFP.❐
