As many as three people were killed and seven other injured in clashes between Houthis and pro-government clan in the Al-Nushoor village very close to Sa'ada city, local sources told the Yemen Post on Saturday.

According to the same sources, the incident happened when the armed men from Houthis attacked Al-Awjari pro-government clan and started firing, which was soon hit back by the Al-Awjari tribe.

In the exchange of gunfire two Houthi affiliates and one of Al-Awjari tribe were reportedly killed and other seven injured from both sides.

The gunfire continued for at least two hours and the dead bodies and injured were shifted to nearby Hospitals, the sources said, adding that the incident was caused by the long-standing enmity between Houthis and Al-Awjari tribe.
