Yemen says truce holds despite Shi'ite attack

Shi'ite rebels shot at an Interior Ministry official and killed a soldier in northern Yemen on Friday, violating a truce announced hours earlier.

 

Yemen's government and rebel leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi agreed late on Thursday to a truce that began at midnight. The truce was welcomed on Friday by Shi'ite Muslim Iran, which has criticised Saudi Arabia's involvement in the fighting on the government side. (Reuters)
