Air strikes, clashes in Yemen’s Hodeida despite ceasefire: pro-govt sources

Dubai (AFP) – Air strikes and fierce clashes shook the outskirts of the Yemeni port city of Hodeida overnight, pro-government sources and residents said Sunday, despite a UN-brokered ceasefire. 

At least 29 fighters, including 22 Huthi rebels, were killed on Saturday night in clashes and air strikes in Hodeida province, a pro-government military source told AFP.

A Hodeida city resident reached by telephone said that the clashes were “fierce”, adding that the sounds of jets could be heard throughout the night.
