Overnight clashes along Yemen's western coast killed 20 combatants from both sides, AFP reported Monday (February 13th).
Renewed clashes in the coastal towns of Midi and Mokha, north and south of the Red Sea port of al-Hodeida, erupted the day after Yemeni forces seized control of the area.
The latest round of clashes killed 14 Houthis (Ansarallah) and six troops loyal to President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a military source said.
Hospital sources in al-Hodeida confirmed at least eight dead.
