Yemeni security officials say the Saudi-led coalition launched new airstrikes Wednesday on the Houthi rebels. The airstrikes came a day after Saudi Arabia had declared an end to the air campaign targeting the Iran-backed rebels.
Yemeni officials said airstrikes hit the Houthi rebels in Taiz, Yemen's third-largest city, and in the southern port city of Aden. The rebels had seized control of a military brigade headquarters near Aden's old airport.
Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday it would end the month-long airstrikes. Iran welcomed the announcement and called it a "step forward" toward a political resolution.
