(VOVworld) - The Saudi-led coalition against Houthi rebels in Yemen has declared an end to its campaign of air strikes after four weeks. Coalition spokesman Brigadier General Ahmed al-Assiri made a statement on Tuesday, saying the insurgents no longer pose a threat to Saudi Arabia and its neighbors. He said a naval blockade of Yemen will prevent any spread of Houthi militias. The coalition spokesman said the next phase of the campaign will focus on aid, a political solution, and counterterrorism in Yemen.
