Fighting intensified in Sanaa, casting doubt on the viability of a truce deal announced by a UN envoy on Saturday.

The rebels reportedly took over state radio and TV, and are battling Sunni militia and government troops at a university complex.

Scores have died in the recent fighting - Yemen's worst crisis since 2011.
