25 dead in north Yemen conflict

At least 25 people have been killed and dozens wounded in northern Yemen in what Sunni Islamist Salafi fighters said was shelling by Shia Muslim rebels on Saturday and Sunday. The shelling killed 10 people on Saturday and continued on Sunday afternoon, a Salafi spokesman said, bringing the death toll to 25 with a further 48 wounded in the latest flare-up in Damaj, about 150 km (90 miles) north of the capital Sanaa.
The defence ministry put the death toll at 32. A Houthi representative disputed the Salafi account of the fighting and said its side had suffered deaths and injuries.
