As per reports, an armed confrontation occurred in the Al-Yatmah area, north of Yemen’s Al-Jawf Governorate Wednesday (30 July).

The clash, which resulted in four deaths (two Houthi militia members and two tribesmen) and additional injuries, was sparked after Houthi gunmen set a local resident’s house on fire. In retaliation, tribal gunmen attacked a Houthi security checkpoint.
