As Yemen enters its fifth year of conflict, dialogue between the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed Houthi rebels continues to falter
Houthi rebel fighters inspect the damage after a reported air strike carried out by the Saudi-led coalition targeted the presidential palace in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, in 2017.
The clashes were the heaviest since the ceasefire went into effect on December 18, residents said, and came as the UN announced a deal setting out details of a mutual military withdrawal envisaged by the Stockholm truce accord. During the past four years, fighter jets and ground forces from Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain took part in operations, with support from private US military company, Academi.
