- Story Text: Saudi-led coalition jets pounded military targets controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis in the city of Yarim in central Yemen, Thursday (September 3), witnesses said.
Reuters video showed repeated air strikes on a military base in the city which lies some 100 km south of the capital Sanaa.
In a separate incident Friday (September 4), twenty-seven soldiers from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain were killed while taking part in the Saudi-led military campaign against Yemen's dominant Houthi group, in the deadliest attack on the Gulf forces since the offensive began. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
