Twelve civilians were killed and others wounded in
Houthis’ random and heavy shelling of At Tuhayta in Hodeidah on Wednesday, a
Yemeni military source said.
Violent battles are ongoing in east of At Tuhayta
towards Zabid, the source said, adding that the army forces seized control of
the At Tuhayta-Zabid triangle.
The Yemeni army also managed to cut the Houthis'
supply routes between At Tuhayta, Zabid and Bayt al-Faqih districts in
Hodeidah, the source added.
President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi established a
committee headed by Prime Minister Ahmed bin Daghr to crystallize ideas before
direct negotiations with the Houthis and to study the proposals submitted by UN
Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths.
