Yemen cease-fire between rebels, Saudi-led coalition ends

With no extension announced, a five-day humanitarian cease-fire in Yemen between Shiite rebels and a Saudi-led coalition ended Sunday night. The cease-fire expired at 11 pm local time, but it wasn't immediately clear if either side immediately began widespread hostilities. The cease-fire hadn't halted all fighting in Yemen between the rebels, known as Houthis, and those opposing them.

 

Sunday night, there were concentrated flyovers by aircraft likely from the coalition in Aden and Saada, though no strikes.
