Yemen's Government Continues Its Offensive Against The Rebels

Deaths Mount Amid Yemen Offensive -- BBC

The army in Yemen is continuing a major offensive against rebels in the north of the country, with at least 15 people killed in two days of fighting.

There were conflicting reports on whether the dead were civilians killed in an attack on a market or rebels.

Other reports say more have been killed in fighting in Saada, the capital of the province of the same name.

The offensive is an escalation of the long-running conflict between the Sunni government and Shia rebels.

The rebels, supporters of Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, operate in mountainous Saada province, near the border with Saudi Arabia.

The offensive came after the government vowed to strike with an "iron fist".
