Yemeni Pro-government Forces

A fragile ceasefire between Yemeni pro-government forces and Iran-backed rebels appeared to hold today despite breaches, as UN-sponsored peace talks entered a second day in Switzerland.

Yemeni pro-government forces advancing into the strategic province of Taez were battling rebels on the outskirts of its second largest town today, military sources said.

Pro-government forces today killed 13 rebel fighters in an ambush in Yemen's south after the insurgents took back several positions in the area, a military source said.

Warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition hit Yemen rebel positions today as reinforcements reached pro-government forces preparing for an anticipated advance towards the capital, military sources said.

Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah flew into the southern port of Aden from exile in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, after pro-government forces ousted Shiite rebels from the city, an airport source said.

Forces loyal to Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi recaptured the international airport in his southern power base Aden early on Thursday, a security official said.

Fighting raged in the Yemeni capital on Sunday despite an announcement by the UN envoy that pro-government forces and Shiite rebels were poised to sign a deal.
