Houthis open fire at Yemeni PM’s convoy, no injuries: minister

SANAA: Houthi fighters fired on Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah’s motorcade in Sanaa on Monday but no one was hurt, Information Minister Nadia al-Saqqaf said.

The minister said on Twitter that fighters at a Houthi checkpoint fired on Bahah´s entourage after he left a meeting with President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his Houthi advisor Saleh al-Samad to try to resolve a political crisis that has led to clashes between the fighters and the army.

A Yemeni government spokesman described the shooting at Bahah´s armoured convoy as an assassination attempt. (Reuters)
