The joint air raids in Yemen come a day after a separate wave of unilateral American strikes against Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria that were carried out in response to the killing of three U.S. soldiers in Jordan on Jan. 28.

Triple suicide bombings killed 142 people and wounded more than 350 others March 20 at mosques in the Yemeni capital attended by Shiite Huthi militiamen who have seized the city, medics said.

Triple suicide bombings killed 55 people Friday at mosques in the Yemeni capital attended by Shiite Huthi militiamen who have seized control of the city, medics said.
      
Dozens more were wounded.
      
One bomb exploded inside Badr mosque in southern Sanaa, and was followed by another at the gate as worshippers fled, witnesses said.
     

An air raid on the presidential palace in Yemen's southern city of Aden and intense fighting at the airport Thursday raised fears for President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled his residence.
     
Hadi was forced to evacuate the palace in the country's major southern city, presidency sources said, after it was attacked by a fighter jet.
      

Yemen's beleaguered Western-backed president escaped house arrest and fled the capital to friendly territory Feb. 21, labelling as a coup the grab for power by the Shiite militia that had held him.
      
An aide said presidential guards had sneaked Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi out of his residence in Sanaa, and that he later made it to the main southern city of Aden.
      

The United States has shut its embassy in Yemen indefinitely and evacuated its staff after the Shiite Muslim militia that grabbed power in Sanaa warned against attempts to "destabilise" the country.
      

Shiite militia who have seized Yemen?s capital announced Feb. 6 they had dissolved parliament and installed a "presidential council" to run the country in the face of a power vacuum.
 
The Huthi militia said it would set up a national council of 551 members to replace the legislature in the violence-wracked country, a key US ally in the fight against Al-Qaeda.
