The fighting and air raids in Mukayris, a town seen as a gateway to southern provinces recently recaptured by pro-government forces, left 19 rebels, 15 loyalists and six civilians dead, the sources said.
Coalition strikes against rebel positions in <g data-gr-id="23">Baida</g> continued today as fighting raged on, the sources added.
<g data-gr-id="25">Baida</g> is home to mainly-Sunni tribes who have been fighting Shiite Huthi rebels since the militia advanced from its northern stronghold late last year.
Mukayris is on the border between <g data-gr-id="28">Baida</g> and the southern province of Abyan, which loyalists have recaptured along with Aden, Lahj, <g data-gr-id="29">Daleh</g>, Shabwa since mid-July.
Other clashes were ongoing today and coalition raids struck rebels in the vast oil-rich Marib province, in the east, witnesses said.
On Monday, one local official said that up to 53 Huthis were killed in coalition air strikes on <g data-gr-id="26">Marib</g>.
But there was no independent confirmation of the report. The Huthis have seized control of large parts of the country including Sanaa, forcing President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi to flee to the southern port city of Aden and then Saudi Arabia.
In March, Saudi Arabia launched a coalition that has been carrying out an air war against them. The kingdom, as well as the United Arab Emirates, <g data-gr-id="27">have</g> also backed pro-government forces with arms and troops.
