New airstrikes target Yemen rebels after Saudi statement
None
The Saudi-led coalition has launched fresh airstrikes on Shiite rebels in two cities on Wednesday, a day after the kingdom declared an end to its month-long campaign targeting the Iran-backed rebels and their allies, Yemeni security officials said.
The airstrikes hit the central city of Taiz, where the rebels, known, as Houthis, had gathered at a military headquarters they control near the old airport to the city's southeast, the officials said.
Air strikes also hit the southern port city of Aden, blasting rebel forces in outlying districts there. Street fighting continued in both cities, especially Taiz, where combat with rebels left dozens killed on both sides.
