At least 75 people have been killed in fighting between troops and Houth fighters in northern Yemen, military and tribal sources say, amid concern over the ceasefire violations.

The casualties included 28 troops, according to military sources, while tribal officials added that Houthi fighters lost 40 men in heavy clashes on Saturday near the northwestern town of Haradh, which was overrun on Thursday by government forces.

Around 50 Houthi fighters and 40 loyalists were wounded in the clashes, sources said.
