The Saudi-led coalition began air raids against Houthi positions in the Yemeni capital Sanaa and its suburbs on Wednesday, at the request of the country's ousted President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
The campaign is designed to roll back the Houthi military insurgency that flared up across Yemen after massive protests against the government in August 2014.
On Monday, a spokesman for the Saudi military said that the coalition had taken full control of all Yemeni ports.
