イエメン南部でフーシ派が砲撃、停戦発効直後
イエメン南部タイズ市内を巡回するアブドラボ・マンスール・ハディ暫定大統領派の民兵ら（2015年5月24日撮影、資料写真）。(c)AFP/ABDUL RAHMAN ALBALLAH 【7月27日 AFP】イエメンでは27日、サウジアラビア主導の連合軍が宣言した停戦が発効したが、直後に南部タイズ（Taez）でイスラム教シーア派（Shiite）系反政府武装勢力フーシ派（Huthis）による砲撃があった。 目撃者の話によると、フーシ派はジェベルサブル（Jebel Sabr）の住宅地に砲撃を加えたという。 一方、首都サヌア（Sanaa）やイエメン中部では停戦が順守されているもようだ。 イエメンのアブドラボ・マンスール・ハディ（Abd-Rabbo Mansour Hadi）暫定大統領を支援するサウジなど連合軍は25日、人道支援活動のためとして、27日午前0時（日本時間同6時）から5日間の停戦を宣言。た
