At least nine people were killed on Monday in heavy fighting between separatist forces and government troops as tanks battled in Yemen's interim capital of Aden, military sources said. Five pro-separatist fighters were killed by snipers, while four soldiers died in clashes, the sources said, as both sides began using tanks and heavy artillery in a second day of fighting in the southern port city.

The flare-up comes following President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi's call for an immediate ceasefire on Sunday, when 15 people were killed and dozens wounded in clashes.
