CAIRO (Reuters) - Yemeni pro-government forces backed by Saudi-led air strikes seized control of a military camp 60km (40 miles) from Sanaa on Thursday, local officials and residents said, as troops advance towards the capital held by Iran-allied fighters.

Forces loyal to Yemen's President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi are battling the Houthi movement and loyalists of the country's former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. The war has killed thousands of people and caused a humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
