ADEN: Saudi-led air strikes have killed 28 Huthi rebels south of the port of Hodeida on Yemen’s west coast, medics and security sources close to the insurgents said on Friday. The reports came as the UN refugee agency UNHCR warned of a new displacement of civilians in the area.
The security sources said the air strikes on Thursday and Friday hit five towns controlled by the Huthis around 70 kilometres south of Hodeida. Medical sources said 28 Huthis were killed and 17 others wounded in the strikes.
There has been no let-up in the air campaign against the rebels that a Saudi-led coalition has been waging since March 2015. The air strikes have intensified since the December 4 killing of ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh at the hands of the Huthis after his alliance with the rebels collapsed.
