Saudi-led coalition jets have bombed Houthi rebels in Yemen's third city of Taiz, hours after announcing the end of a military campaign against them.
The strikes followed the fall of the base outside Taiz of an army unit loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
Fighting was also reported in the second city of Aden, Lahj's provincial capital Huta, and the town of Daleh.

The UN says at least 944 people have been killed and 3,487 injured in air strikes, fighting on the ground and attacks by jihadist militants in Yemen since 19 March.

I hope the Saudis keep it up and don’t listen to Obama telling them to back off!
Could be.
My biggest fear is that we will end up in a fight with both hands tied behind our backs and something really bad will happen.
Iran might get lucky and their odds are greatly increased if our resources in the area are not prepared to fight because the commander in chief doesn’t want to offend the Iranians.
