SANAA - Rebels sweeping across Yemen clashed with armed tribesmen for a second straight day on Saturday in violence that left at least 16 people dead, medics said.

Twelve rebels were killed in a rocket-propelled grenade attack on their vehicle, while four tribesmen died in fighting, medics and local officials said.

The rebels have met increasing fierce resistance since they advanced into mainly Ibb province, southwest of the capital, on Wednesday.
