Victory in Yemen has remained elusive for the Saudi-backed coalition.
The recent sale of $1.29 billion in U.S. “smart” bombs to Saudi Arabia will allow for “greater precision” in air strikes on militia targets, the official spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition told AlArabiya on Tuesday.
The United Nations on Wednesday said 5,700 people have been killed in the conflict in Yemen since March 26, including 830 women and children.
Also on Thursday, three Americans were flown out of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa on an Omani air force flight late on Wednesday.
