, which is leading a coalition against Yemen, as soon as early next week.

war has so far been limited to the air force.

No details were provided about the size of the force.

Since March, Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out air strikes against Yemen and forces loyal to former president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
after they overran large parts of Yemen.
