At least two people were killed on Tuesday morning when artillery shelling hit their homes in the south of Yemen's northwestern province of Hodeidah, local medics told Xinhua.

Ten others, including six children, were wounded by the artillery shelling on the residential area of al-Jah al-A'ala in the district of Bayt al-Faqih.

Several houses in the area were also damaged during the exchange of heavy shelling between the Yemeni army and the militants loyal to the resigned Hadi regime, said the local residents.

Hodeidah has seen a shaky cease-fire between the Yemeni government and the Hadi loyalists since both sides reached a UN-sponsored truce agreement in Stockholm in December 2018.

Part of the province, including the port city on the Red Sea, is under control of the Yemeni army, while Hadi loyalists have advanced to the southern and eastern districts.
