May 19, 2015 01:05

Smoke and the stench of bombs filled the skies over Yemen again Sunday as a five-day humanitarian cease fire ended. Saudi-led coaltion airstrikes resumed in four Aden districts, according to Ali al-Halemi, a security official in Aden, and another official who did not want to be named.

There was also confirmation from two activists, Basem Al-Sultan and Abdulaziz al-Shuaibi. All four of those who confirmed the airstrikes were in different districts of Aden.

The airstrikes targeted Yemeni Houthis battling coaltion forces on the ground. The cease fire ended at 11 pm local time Sunday (4 pm ET). There has been no word of death or injuries yet from the renewed airstrikes. No airstrikes have been witnessed in Sana'a, Yeman's capital.

Yemeni President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi -- speaking in Saudi Arabia at the Riyadh Conference for Saving Yemen -- promised his country would survive the unrest.
