The war over Yemen

Violence intensifies following Saudi-led airstrikes against Houthi fighters.

Bombs continue to pound Yemen, as Saudi-led coalition airstrikes target Houthi positions across the country. On the ground, violent clashes between President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi loyalists and Houthi fighters have paralysed the city of Aden in the south, and the death toll mounts. Many Yemenis have turned to social media to call for an end to the war sharing images of life under fire.
