More than 300 people, including fighters and civilians, have been killed in renewed fighting in Yemen. According to government officials, 84 of their troops were killed over the weekend, mostly in missile attacks. Houthi military sources reported that 57 of their fighters were killed in the same time period.
The conflict has also led to displacement, with the UN humanitarian agency OCHA estimating that around 1,790 households fled the areas of Maqbanah and Jabal Habashi in Taiz. The fighting is between government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia, and Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
The toll was reported by AFP, citing military and medical sources from both sides. The government and Houthi sources provided the numbers of their own fighters killed, but the total number of civilian casualties was not specified.
