At least 12 Houthi militants have been killed in an attack by Al-Qaeda-affiliated militants in the central Yemeni province of Al-Bayda, tribal sources said Tuesday.
"Militants affiliated with Ansar al-Sharia group attacked several Houthi sites late Monday in Manaseh region in Al-Bayda, killing 12 Houthi militants," one of the sources told Anadolu Agency, requesting anonymity.
Clashes erupted between the two sides following the attack, but it is yet unclear whether there were any causalities, the sources said.
Al-Bayda has recently been the scene of numerous confrontations between Al-Qaida militants and armed Sunni tribesmen on one side and members of the Shiite Houthi militant group on the other.
Sunni tribesmen reportedly enjoy the support of Al-Qaeda, which is said to remain active in fractious Yemen.
The declaration was rejected by most of Yemen's political forces, along with some neighboring countries, which described it as a coup against constitutional legitimacy.
