Houthi fighters fired on Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah's motorcade in Sanaa on Monday but no one was hurt, Information Minister Nadia al-Saqqaf said.
The minister said on Twitter that fighters at a Houthi checkpoint fired on Bahah's entourage after he left a meeting with President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his Houthi advisor Saleh al-Samad to try to resolve a political crisis that has led to clashes between the Shi'ite fighters and the army.
A Yemeni government spokesman described the shooting at Bahah's armoured convoy as an assassination attempt.
