Saudi-led coalition ends military operation in Yemen

Dubai: The Saudi-led coalition bombing Yemen announced on Tuesday the end to a military operation that pounded the Iran-allied Houthi rebels for more than three weeks, a statement read on Saudi-owned Arabiya TV said.

The alliance had achieved its military goals in Yemen through the campaign dubbed "Storm of Resolve" and will now begin a new operation called "Restoring Hope," it said.

The mission, the statement said, would focus on security at home and counter-terrorism, aid and a political solution in Yemen.
