[Iran Press TV Latest] The Shia Houthi combatants have taken control over a district bordering Saudi Arabia, as the military confrontation between Yemeni government and the northern fighters rages on.

"People have now full control of the government compounds in the administrative district of Munabbih following raids on the buildings early on Thursday," a statement released by Houthis said. It added people had turned against the local authorities because of constant harassment and deliberate killing of civilians.

Surrounded by fighters and regularly bombarded by military warplanes and helicopters, Saada remains cut from the rest of the country and is faced with a pressing shortage of food and other basic supplies.
