Yemen’s civil war is getting out of hand, and Arab states, along with a few other countries, decided they need to do something.

Countries with the Gulf Cooperation Council, Morocco, Pakistan, and Sudan are now carrying out coalition airstrikes on Shiite Houthi militias who have taken over large swathes of Yemen. It’s being reported that Saudi Arabia is deploying about 100 fighter planes to take part in the bombing sorties.
