Shiite Huthi Rebels Attack

An unprecedented attack on Yemen's government claimed by the Islamic State terrorist group has raised a fresh challenge for the Saudi-led coalition backing the embattled president, analysts say.

Rebel fire on a residential district of Yemen's second city Aden killed more than 30 civilians on Wednesday, as the UN declared its highest level humanitarian emergency in the war-torn country.

An attack on Huthi rebel leaders in the Yemeni capital claimed by the Islamic State group killed at least 28 people, medics said, the latest deadly assault on Shiites by the Sunni extremists.

At least 28 people, including eight women, were killed in an attack against the residence of two leaders of the Shiite Huthi rebels in Sanaa on Monday night, a Yemeni medical source said.

At least 39 people were killed and dozens wounded in 24 hours of clashes in the southern Yemeni cities of Aden and Dhaleh, officials said today.

War-torn Yemen began marking the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan today after a wave of Islamic State group bombings, with little hope of a ceasefire and a worsening humanitarian situation.

The Arab coalition fighting Shiite rebels in Yemen said Sunday it has deployed helicopter gunships after cross-border attacks that killed Saudi soldiers.
