Fighting has broken out on the outskirts of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah a day after a ceasefire agreement was reached by the warring parties at UN-sponsored peace talks.

The main port used to feed Yemen's 30 million people is held by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement that also controls the capital Sanaa and has been battling against a Saudi-led Arab coalition seeking to restore a government ousted in 2014.
