DUBAI (Reuters) - A Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-aligned Houthis for control of Yemen's main port city of Hodeidah will take a "calculated and gradual" approach to the battle, a senior United Arab Emirates official said on Monday.

Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said the military alliance led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE was taking into consideration a "fragile humanitarian situation", avoiding civilian casualties in addition to military calculations.
