instead of military targets. >> they have resulted today to stop water pump bevels working and electricity was not there in so many parts of aden. this is the malitias. this is expected also from them. they don't have any goals. they only destroy the infrastructure that target the individuals, the citizens. >> al jazeera's omar alsalla has a full wrap now of the latest developments in yemen. >> reporter: most of the heavy fighting on sunday took place in the districts in the south of aden, not far from the city's port. heavy fighting was reported as houthi rebels along with fighters illinois to the deposed president managed to infiltrate the area. they were met with strong

resistance from fighters loyal to president al sa hada. in the district nearby there were furious battles, too. aden has become the center of this war. parts of the city have now been without water or electricity. >> random shelling by houthis on home civilians. by the hour. so we really wish that there are compressions between the houthis so that we can pass by with medical supplies. >> despite the 11th day of air raids by the saudi-led coalition, they are fighting back. they are well armed. the port of aden is on their list of targets. the coalition has air dropped more weapons and equipment for fighters battles the houthis in aden but so far, it's not been

enough. in sanaa, coalition jets carried out more airstrikes lighting up the target. the targets contain the military base and other locations by the houthi rebels and fighters loyal to the former president. this village near the capital city sanaa was also hit. >> four rockets came down on our village and they said they were targeting a militia camp where is the camp? is this a camp? these are sleeping muslims. >> houthi rebels ran sacked several areas. >> these illegal pursuits are our objection to what is being done by the howeuthis. particularly the government of aden. we reject these procedures. there is another potential

front. tribunal fighters are showing off their military strength preparing to confront the possible houthi advance on the eastern city of shabwa. they have reportedly regained control of the area taken over by fighters allied to former president abdula sala known to be former members of al-qaeda. the fighting can only worsen the humanitarian conditions of an i am pofshished nation. al jazeera. >> a police station has been attacked in egypt north sinai region. isil says it was behind the attack which reportedly killed 15 people n cairo, on bomb has gone off on a bridge home to many embassies one policeman was killed. it's not clear who is behind that attack. he script has seen increasing levels of violence since president morsi was removed from

pour in 2013. >> kenya's interior ministry has revealed that one of the four gunmen in the attack on garissa university was the son of a state government chief. ats easter sunday mass in garissa's catholic church prayers were said for the 148 people killed by al shabaab fighters. the victims had been singled out for being christian. worshippers celebrated under increased security. the university attack is the worst the country has seen since 1998. with the latest let's go live now to catherine soi who is in garissa. catherine, what more can you tell us about those suspected of carrying out the attack? >> i will tell you about one of the suspects who was shot. he is a resident of mandara, with somalia. he was a low graduate and he

also, in a very reputable university actually in nairobi. he served as a lawyer for the bank there we spoke to a journalist earlier who had spoken to his father who action like you said is a government administrator in mandera. his father said the last time he saw his son was in may, last year. when he had, he had gone in to somalia to join al shabaab, he promptly informed the government, now jonah, away from that what's going on here in garissa, the government says security has been beefed up. we went to a church that worshippers were being guarded by armed police officers and, also, a dusk to dawn curfew is still in place. a security operation here in garissa's town center. government forces say they had been tipped off some of the suspected organizers of the

university attack on thursday were spotted in this hotel ammed they did not find them but they did impound two vehicles. security seems to be everywhere. christian worshippers in this region have to be searched by private security guards and then they are washed over by armed police this church was attacked in 2012. seventeen people were killed. their pastor tells us some worshippers are still afraid. >> some of them are even not willing to come to the church. others are running away from garissa. >> what is worrying many is how easy it seems to radical eyes and recruit young people to groups like al shabaab. >> perhaps one of the reason why the government is having a difficult time dealing with the security situation is because some of the people who are suspected of carrying out the attacks are kenyans. they come from this.

they have relatives here and sometimes they are protected by the locals. >> government must cooperate. >> local leaders say it's a problem that must be dealt with. >> we will fight it as a country, as an ideology. it is imbedded in religion. we will talk to our people. we will fight radicalization. >> of the four gunmen, one have been identified as a son of a government official from the budda town of manera. another man suspected of planning the attack is staged to be a kenyan from garissa. he is also suspected of being responsible for an attack last year where dozens of people died. one human rights activist told us that if the government wants to deal with al shabaab fighters, it needs to stop those collaborating with the group. >> for you to be a smuggler in somalia, you definitely have to show loyalty to al shabaab.

once you have shown loyalty for al shabaab what are we waiting for? these regs are here in all of garissa. >> religious leaders are calling for tolerance. they say kenyans are fighting a common enemy who can only be defeated by a united front. >> so catherine, kenyans -- christians in kenyan understandably perhaps concerned about this new security threat. kenya, a majority christian country but i understand kenyans of somali descent are concerned about the possibility of reprisal against them. >> very concerned the thing is they are saying they are also victims of al shabaab. many of them in this region have also been killed and yes they are afraid of reprisals. whenever an attack happens in the country, the government cracks down on a suspected --

suspected mastermind suspected. the attack. the people who are mostly victimized are the people who lead in this area like you said it's an area that is dominated by kenyans of somali decent but we spoke to some clans who say what the government needs to do is work with the locals. they are under no illusions. they know their al shabaab elements in this area. they know that young people here are being very easily radicalized and recruited. they know that these people have relatives here, collaborators here but they want the government to sort of work with them and not to be high-handed in how they handle the communities that live here. the clan elders we talked to said look. the government needs to engage us. some of the people here, some of the locals here have crucial information that they would be afraid to give the government

because they are fearing to be victimized. they are saying the government cannot work against the communities if they want this situation to be dealt with. >> okay. catherine soi live for us in garissa kenya. thanks catherine. >> iran's foreign minister has warned that his country won't hesitate to return to its current nuclear activities if the west doesn't hold up to its side of the bargain made in switzerland. under the agreement. tehran will rein in its nuclear program in turn for relief from tough comic sanctions. >> we will prove to the world that we are committed to our promises and will show others are seeking pretext against us. any time our national interests are harmed because of violation by the other side we will decide how to act. any time a deal is finalized, it will reserve our options but if the other side violates the agreements within a period of less than two months, we can return to our current level of nuclear activities. >> still to come on the program,
