What is the Saudi-led coalition?
This is a group of countries, primarily from the Middle East, led by Saudi Arabia. They intervened in the Yemen civil war in 2015, supporting the internationally recognised Yemeni government against the Houthi rebels. The coalition confirmed the Houthis were behind the recent attacks on Saudi cities and oil sites.
