At least three civilians were killed and several others wounded when three grenades fell in a public market after an exchange of gunfire between Houthi followers and tribesmen in Sa'ada Province.
Tribal sources told the Yemen Post that the gunfire exchange occurred in Sada'a district between Houthi followers and tribesmen who belong to Sheikh Othman Mujalli, a Yemeni parliament member. No further details were reported.
Eyewitnesses said that there have been sporadic clashes around the area between Houthis and tribesmen belonging to Abdin tribe since last year.
Yemen has witnessed sporadic battles since 2004 between Yemeni government troops and rebels.
