At least 40 people were killed, including several fishermen, when Saudi-led coalition strikes hit two Yemeni islands on the Red Sea overnight, several locals said on Saturday.
Yemen's exiled government said on Tuesday it was ready to join U.N.-sponsored talks, but only if its Houthi adversaries publicly accepted a resolution calling on them to recognize the Yemeni president and quit Yemen's main cities.
Rockets fired by Houthi militiamen killed 14 civilians, most of them children, as fighting intensified for control of Yemen's third largest city, Taiz, residents said on Monday.
