Heavy clashes kill 39 combatants outside Yemen’s rebel-held port city of Hodeida, as a Saudi and UAE-backed offensive to retake the key aid hub enters its second day.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels suffer 30 fatalities in the fighting, which took place two kilometers (1.2 miles) from Hodeida airport, south of the city, according to medical sources.
Nine pro-government troops are killed in the same area, according to the medics. Military sources say the deaths are caused by mines and snipers.
