Al Jazeera: Civilians killed in Taiz as Yemen truce unravels
At least 12 civilians killed and 51 wounded as Houthi fighters launch attacks on Yemen's third largest city.
At least 12 civilians have been killed in Yemen's southern city of Taiz as Houthi fighters continued their offensive on the penultimate day of a fragile humanitarian ceasefire.
Government officials said on Saturday that another 51 people were wounded after the rebels shelled several neighbourhoods in the city's Hawd Al Shraf and Shamasi districts.
Some 26 fighters loyal to the Houthis and former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and 14 loyalists of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi were also killed.
Meanwhile, in the southern province of Ad-Dali', five Houthis were killed overnight when their convoy was ambushed; and in the coastal city of Aden, heavy artillery, including tank shells, fell on the city's northern sector and west.
