Heavy Saudi-led airstrikes near Aden
Yemeni officials and witnesses say Saudi-led airstrikes targeted Shiite rebels and their allies on the outskirts of the southern city of Aden, the scene of weeks of intense fighting.
The warplanes heavily pound rural areas northwest of Aden on Thursday, where the rebels, known as Houthis, and allied forces have been deployed.
Mohammed Ali, a resident, says he saw many bloodied bodies scattered across a kilometer- (mile-) wide area. It was not immediately clear how many people were killed or wounded in the strikes.
Airstrikes also targeted rebel positions in the provinces of Saada, Hajjah, Taiz and Ibb.
