Yemen rebels overrun tribal strongholds
Huthi rebels have overrun strongholds of powerful tribes in northern Yemen, witnesses said on Sunday, in a major advance following weeks of combat that have left scores dead.
The Huthis seized the town of Huth and Khamri village the seat of the Hashid tribal chief, as tribal defence lines crumbled, local sources and witnesses said.
