Clashes erupted Tuesday around the
presidential palace in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, a
day after heavy fighting between government
forces and Houthi militants ended in a ceasefire
deal.
Several tweets from the Yemeni Information
Ministry say the presidential palace is under
attack.
However, two Interior Ministry officials say the
palace has in fact been taken by the Houthis, Shiite
Muslims who have long felt marginalized in the
majority Sunni Muslim country.
CNN could not independently confirm the reports.
Nine people were killed and 67 others injured in the
fighting between government forces and Houthi
militants on Monday, Yemen's Health Ministry said,
before the sides agreed to a ceasefire.
It's not clear whether the renewed fighting has
now brought the peace talks to an end.
Gunfire could be heard sporadically across the city
Tuesday, whereas a day earlier it was constant.
