Eleven Yemeni soldiers and 14 Shiite Huthi rebels were killed Tuesday during clashes in a stronghold of the insurgents in the north of the country, medics said.
Dozens of other combatants were wounded in the gunfight that erupted on the western outskirts of Amran city, the medics at Amran hospital said.
A military source said earlier that three soldiers were killed in the clashes which broke out when rebels attacked an army position in the area.
Tensions remain high in Amran where Huthis have been trying to enforce their presence through armed parades and protests against the military, according to AFP.
