Saudi Arabia continues bombing campaign in Yemen

Air strikes by the Saudi-Arabia led coalition continued in Yemen and killed at least 40 people.

The air-strike campaign against Houthi militants in Yemen continued despite the EU voting for an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia for their involvement in the death of civilians in Yemen, reports Reuters.

Almost 6,000 people are thought to have been killed since the start of the Saudi-led bombing campaign last year.
