Saudi-led coalition warplanes have struck several Yemeni rebel positions in fresh overnight raids, two days after the alliance announced an end to its month-long aerial campaign.
Witnesses said the raids hit rebel positions close to the capital Sanaa, around the third city Taez, and in the central town of Yarim.
Residents said strikes were also carried out in the southern province of Lahj as well as around the approach to the main southern city of Aden, where clashes between rebels and fighters loyal to exiled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi raged overnight.

But it vowed to carry out targeted strikes on the rebels when necessary.
