(20 Aug 2015) Fighting continued in Southern Yemen on Thursday between Houthi rebels and southern forces loyal to Yemen's exiled president.
The two groups fired at each in the border areas between the Abeen and al-Bayda provinces.
Thursday's clashes came as the the Saudi-backed southern forces loyal to the current president-in-exile, President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, have retaken strategic locations in the south after the Houthi rebels seized control of them over the past year.
But despite the recent gains made by the Saudi-backed forces, the Houthis do not seem ready to relinquish their hold in country's central and southern areas yet.
Fighting in Yemen pits the Shiite Houthis and troops loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh against southern separatists, local and tribal militias, Sunni Islamic militants and troops loyal to Hadi, who is in exile in Saudi Arabia.
