CRI听力:Yemen's Capital under Heavy Airstrikes

Gulf coalition forces have launched a series of airstrikes on Houthi targets in the Yemeni capital, said to be the heaviest since the expiration of a five-day humanitarian truce with Yemen's Shiite rebels.

The strikes have been targeting rebel-held military depots on the outskirts of Sana'a, where missiles, tanks and artillery are thought to be stored.

The five-day humanitarian pause was launched last week to enable the UN to deliver humanitarian aid.

Clashes between Houthi fighters and forces loyal to exiled President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi did continue to take place during the pause, with both sides accusing one-another of breaking the truce.

It's believed around 14-hundred people have been killed since Sunni-backed forces from the Gulf Arab nations began bombing Houthi rebel targets in Yemen in an attempt to hold them from taking control of the entire country.

Despite the Gulf coalition controlling the air, the Shiite Houthis, said to be backed by Iran, still maintain control of much of Yemen.
