Saudi-led coalition pounds Yemen with airstrikes a second day

27-Mar (CNN) — A coalition of Middle Eastern forces pounded positions in Yemen from the air overnight in the second day of a campaign to bring a rebel group to its knees.

…Iran denounced the military intervention. Marzieh Afkham, a spokeswoman for the country’s Foreign Ministry, said the operation will throw an already complicated situation into further turmoil and disrupt chances at a peaceful resolution to Yemen’s monthslong internal strife. It also won’t help a region already facing terrorist threats from groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, she said.
