Saudi-led coalition poised to take airport of Yemen's main port city

Forces from a Saudi-led coalition were poised to enter the airport of Yemen's main port city of Hodeidah on Friday. The alliance is preparing to seize the city in the biggest battle of a three-year war. Coalition warplanes pounded coastal areas southeast of the Houthi-held city as residents marked the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan. Heavy fighting left 39 people dead on Thursday, a day after the Saudi-led coalition launched an assault to recapture the city. Yemen's rebel chief urged his forces to fight on against pro-government troops pressing the Saudi-backed offensive.
