By Staff writer Al Arabiya News, 27 February 2016 – Saudi-led airstrikes targeting Iranian backed Houthi militias left 30 rebels killed in a district outside the capital, Sanaa.
The Saudi-led alliance is fighting the Houthis and forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh in a bid to restore the internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The United Nations says nearly 6,000 people have been killed in the fighting, which began after the Houthis advanced on the southern port city of Aden, where Hadi had been based. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced.
