Warplanes of a Saudi-led coalition bombed on Monday positions of militias of Houthi group and ousted Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh in southwestern Ma'rib province, east of Yemen.

Yemeni press sources in Sanaa said that the warplanes targeted a bridge connecting Sanaa and Ma'rib and Jufaynah area.

The militias of the Houthi group and Saleh have been trying to control the oil-rich Ma'rib, but they failed due to the popular resistance.
