REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, ADEN -- At least 20 Shiite Huthi rebels were killed in southern Yemen Thursday by Saudi-led coalition air strikes and an ambush by pro-government militia, army and loyalist militia sources said.

"Fourteen Huthis were killed in eight dawn air raids by the coalition on their positions near Dar Saad," a northern district of the port city of Aden, a loyalist army source told AFP.

In the nearby city of Daleh, fighters allied with fugitive President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi attacked a Huthi position, killing six militants, said Southern Movement chief Nasser al-Shuaibi.
