Missile launches and shelling in parts of Yemen have shattered a temporary ceasefire with the rival sides blaming each other for violations.
The Saudi-led alliance, which is fighting against the rebels allied with Iran, said it intercepted three ballistic missiles fired by the Houthi rebels in the province of Mareb in eastern Yemen.
Local residents and sources in Houthi militias meanwhile reported airstrikes by the alliance in five areas.
Saudi-owned broadcaster Al Arabiya reported that pro-government forces "repulsed truce violations" by the rebels in the western city of Taiz, which is a major battleground.
Alliance spokesman Ahmed Asiri told Al Arabiya that the rebels had carried out 185 breaches of the 48-hour truce. "Most violations took place in Taiz," he said.
Meanwhile, the rebel-controlled Saba news agency said that pro-government forces shelled areas in Mareb, severely damaging private and public property.
The allegations from both sides could not be independently verified.
The truce is the latest in a series of ceasefires that have failed to hold in Yemen, which has been locked in a power struggle for more than two years.
