Saudi Arabia pounds Yemen with 300 airstrikes in one week

Yemen's Houthi movement says Saudi Arabia launched 300 airstrikes on Yemen this week. The Houthis reported the figure. There was no immediate comment from Saudi officials. Saudi Arabia leads a military coalition that has fought the Houthis since 2015. The coalition backs Yemen's internationally recognized government. Airstrikes are common in the conflict. The reported number, if confirmed, would be one of the highest weekly totals in recent months. The war has killed tens of thousands of people and pushed Yemen into a severe humanitarian crisis.
