Wounded Dude Gets Dragged to Safety During Yemen Fighting (VIDEO)

Can't say this looks like fun.

Watch, via Reuters, "Wounded, under fire, dragged to safety, in embattled Yemen."

Also, at the Los Angeles Times, "Yemen rebels advance near key gas terminal; capital hit by new strikes":
The conflict in Yemen, already the Arab world’s poorest country, has triggered a humanitarian disaster, with food, water, medical supplies and electricity running short in many areas. Civilian casualties are mounting; at least 643 civilians have been killed and more than 2,200 wounded, according to the United Nations.

The Saudi-led airstrikes have so far failed to dislodge the Houthis from Aden, the southern port city that is Yemen’s main commercial hub. Fierce street-to-street fighting, some of it with heavy weapons such as field artillery, continued Thursday in central districts, with explosions reverberating across the city.
More at al-Jazeera, "Intense fighting reported in Yemen's Aden."
