At least 76 people were killed in Yemen on April 17 as Saudi-led warplanes pounded rebels heading to bolster an assault on loyalists in Aden and fighting raged in Taez, officials said. At least 20 rebels were killed, and two tanks and four armoured vehicles destroyed, in the overnight air strikes on a convoy headed out of Yemen’s largest air base, Al-Anad, provincial official Abedrabbo al-Mihwali said.
