STORYLINE:
Clashes were underway on Wednesday along several front lines in Yemen, claiming at least 42 lives and undermining a day-old ceasefire and peace talks between the internationally recognised government and Shiite rebels taking place in Switzerland.
According to security officials, fighting took place for a second consecutive day in the provinces of Ibb, Bayda, Marib, Jawf, and Taiz.
In the besieged city of Taiz, shelling by Houthis killed six civilians, said the officials who are neutral in the conflict. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to reporters.
The UN-brokered talks that began on Tuesday were meant to give Yemen's warring factions a chance to find a solution to the conflict that has engulfed the Arab world's poorest country.
At the same time, an agreed ceasefire went into effect on the ground, meant to last a week. But as fighters on both sides ignored the truce, expectations for the negotiations were low.
A high-profile official from the rebels, also known as Houthis, warned on Wednesday that it wouldn't be possible to continue the talks unless the ceasefire holds.
