Forces loyal to the Yemeni government launched a military operation against the Houthi rebels in the country’s central province of al-Bayda, leaving 15 people from both sides dead, an official said.

The military operation aimed at liberating al-Bayda from the Houthi militia, according to Yemeni Minister of Information Muammar Al-Iryani.
