SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemeni security officials say two days of clashes between Shiite rebels and Islamist tribesmen in the country’s north have killed at least 35 fighters on both sides.

The officials say the Hawthi rebels, who belong to a Shiite sect, have been battling their conservative Sunni rivals from one of Yemen’s largest tribes, backed by a local army unit, in Jouf province since Tuesday.
