Sana'a: Al Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government exchanged accusations of preparing for a new round of war in the conflict-torn Sa'ada, north of the country. The exchange came after dozens of rebels and tribesmen loyal to the government were killed and injured during the current fragile truce announced by both parties last February.

A spokesman for Al Houthi rebels said on Sunday that the government is preparing for the seventh round of war against them.

"The government is escalating and purchasing weapons to launch the seventh war against us," said Abu Malek, a representative of Al Houthi rebels in Harf Sufyan.

‘'The government did not implement any of our demands since the war stopped last February," he said.
