Tribal sources confirmed the death toll, and claimed only eight of them were from their side, with the other 30 either Houthis or their allies from the Yemeni military. The tribesmen were also reinforced by weapons received via 200 vehicles from tribes in the nearby province of Abyan. After the fighting, Houthi positions were hit by Coalition air-strikes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=50 Houthis killed in clashes with Shabwa tribes )〕 On 1 April, fighting at a major army base left 35 Houthi and allied army fighters, along with 20 tribesmen, dead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yemen Houthi fighters backed by tanks reach central Aden )〕 On 6 April, the Houthis were reported to be negotiating with local tribes for safe transit to Ataq, the provincial capital.However, additional fighting on the same day killed two Houthi fighters, while another eight were killed in an airstrike.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yemen clashes kill more than 100 as aid delayed )〕 Two days later, 10 Houthis, three Houthi-allied soldiers and three tribesmen were killed in further clashes.
