Riyadh, March 30 (RHC)-- Saudi Arabia says it will continue military strikes on Yemen until Houthi rebels lay down their arms. There is reportedly intense fighting in the coastal city of Aden, the stronghold of deposed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The Yemeni health ministry says at least 60 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded since the bombing began last week. The Saudi government says it has not ruled out sending in ground troops if the Houthis refuse to surrender.

Over the weekend, former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, a Houthi ally ousted in 2011, called for talks based on resuming a political transition.
