Syrian media: Saudi-led action in Yemen is 'blatant aggression'

BEIRUT - The Syrian state news agency said a Saudi-led military operation launched in Yemen on Thursday was an act of "blatant aggression".

"Gulf war planes led by the regime of the Saudi family launch a blatant aggression on Yemen," read a headline carried on the website of the state news agency SANA.

The Saudi-led coalition, with logistical support from the US, is targeting the Iran-allied Houthi rebels who have seized large swathes of the country, including the capital, following a coup d'état.
