Soldiers and members of neighbourhood patrols confronted them.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The website earlier put the toll at one dead militant and two Yemeni soldiers. It later quoted a military source as saying four &#8220;terrorists&#8221; had been killed, one of whom had Saudi nationality and went by the name &#8220;Abu Musab&#8221;.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A third soldier was wounded in the attack in southern Abyan province.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At least 40 people have been killed in three days of fighting between Shi&#8217;ite Muslim rebels and Sunni tribesmen, sources on both sides said on Sunday, as sectarian fighting that flared up in October in the north drew closer to the capital Sanaa.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fighters loyal to the Shi&#8217;ite Houthi tribe, who have repeatedly fought government forces since 2004, are trying to tighten their grip on the north as Yemen moves towards a federal system that gives more power to regional authorities.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gulf Arab states and the United States are particularly concerned about violence in the Western-allied country as it shares a long border with top oil exporter Saudi Arabia and its coast runs alongside Red Sea and Gulf of Aden shipping lanes.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fighting on Friday and Saturday in al-Jawf province, about 140 kms (90 miles) north-east ofSanaa, claimed more than 30 lives before government mediators managed to broker a truce.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And clashes on Sunday in Hamdan, an area some 30 km north-west of Sanaa has killed more than 10, officials on both sides said. Fighting is still going on, they said.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Houthis &#8211; who control much of the northern Saada province bordering Saudi Arabia and next to al-Jawf &#8211; also blew up a three-storey Sunni religious education centre in Hamdan on Sunday, local tribal sources said.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A local official called on government mediators to try to stop the fighting and warned in a statement carried by Yemeni media that failure to do so would result in a &#8220;bloodbath&#8221;.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Houthi fighters arrived in Hamdan from northern Yemen to safeguard access from their northern stronghold of Saada to Sanaa, where they have large following, tribal sources said.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They said they had no intention of entering the capital.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fighting in the north erupted last year when the Houthis accused Sunni Salafis at the town ofDammaj of recruiting foreign fighters to prepare an attack. The Salafis said the foreigners were students who had come to study Islam.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The fighting ended with the Salafis agreeing to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Source:<\/span> <em><strong>World Bulletin<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least two Yemeni soldiers and four militants were killed in a clash on Saturday when fighters tried to attack a military compound in southern Yemen, the Defence Ministry said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
