About four Houthi elements were killed during armed confrontations in Yemen's southwestern province of Taiz on Tuesday.

 

Scores of Houthi elements launched an armed attack and attempted to seize Hamra area located in the western parts of Taiz.

 

The Yemeni government forces succeeded in aborting their armed attack after hours of intense armed confrontations with the Houthis.

 

Local military sources confirmed to Xinhua that heavy pro-government forces were deployed later to the area that witnessed armed confrontations with the Houthis.

 

The city center of Taiz is currently under the control of the Yemeni government, while the outskirts of the city and areas in the countryside of the province are still witnessing armed confrontations between pro-government forces and the Houthi rebels.
