In the morning, Sakkaf had claimed on her Twitter account that a convoy carrying the Yemeni Prime Minister, Khaled Bahah, came under fire from Houthi rebels. Bahah had apparently been on his way back from a meeting with President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi and a Houthi advisor, where they had been discussing measures to implement a "sustainable ceasefire." Sakkaf said the prime minister was unhurt.The minister also said that Houthi vehicles were targeted along with the government's convoy, which she suggested meant a third party is also involved with the conflict.Somebody is bombarding hill next to me on 50M road.
