Airstrikes kill 200, hamper peace talks

Houthi media report highest daily death toll since Saudi-led bombing started

Saudi-led coalition airstrikes and clashes killed at least 193 fighters and civilians in Yemen on Monday, residents and media run by the Houthi movement said, the highest daily toll since the Arab air offensive began more than three months ago.

The United Nations has been pushing for a halt to air raids and intensified fighting that began on March 26. Almost 3,000 people have been killed since then as the Arab coalition tries stop the Houthis spreading across the country from the north.
