Unrest in Yemen sees at least 40 deaths and forces cancellation of flights

Unrest erupted in Yemen with fighting between Shia rebels and Sunni militias that has resulted in clashes on the edge of the capital bbc.com. It seems armed rebels, known as Houthis, have shelled buildings of the state TV and the main Sunni Islamist party, Islah, in Sanaa.
Reports indicate death of about 40 people. The rebels have staged protests for weeks, demanding political and economic reforms and hundreds of people have fled their homes. International flights to the city have been suspended.
It may be recalled that President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi has dismissed the government and promised to review a decision to cut fuel subsidies. Consequently, the rebels have occupied protest camps on the road to the airport and have staged sit-ins at ministry buildings, apart from clashing with fighters loyal to Islah.
It is understood that Arab and foreign airlines have decided to suspend their flights to Sanaa for 24 hours because of developments in the capital and the measures could be extended depending on the security situation.
