2^min

Loud explosions and exchanges of fire were heard in the capital Sanaa on Wednesday in the chief of the main tribe opposing Yemen's president lives neighborhood. Three explosions were also reported near police stations and an intelligence office in the port city of Aden in southern Yemen.

A military official said Wednesday that negotiations in the south with the fighters to end the bloodshed there were deadlock. A Yemeni undertaker said that he buried 12 militants and two civilians killed in clashes. The undertaker spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.

Later Wednesday, a medical official said an official military videographer was killed and two of his assistants were wounded when a projectile landed inside a military camp east of Zanjibar.

Military and security officials said talks between military officials and members of the Defense Ministry, tribal leaders and militants have failed to persuade the militants to leave the area in exchange for a promise they won't be pursued.

In separate fighting, witnesses said 13 people were killed when government forces shelled Arhab mountain villages north of Sanaa, where anti-government tribes are concentrated.
