Smoke billows from buildings after reported air-strikes by the Saudi-led coalition on arms warehouses at al-Dailami air base, controlled by Yemeni Iran-backed Shiite Huthi rebels and their allies, on September 6, 2015, north of the capital Sanaa. Powerful explosions shook the Yemeni capital, witnesses said, after the Saudi-led coalition vowed to press its air war following a rebel missile strike that killed dozens of Gulf soldiers.

HOLE, SYRIA - NOVEMBER 10: People walk from a rooftop overlooking a burning oil well on November 10, 2015 near the ISIL-held town of Hole in the autonomous region of Rojava, Syria. A coalition of forces, primarily Kurdish, are attacking ISIL extremists in the area near the Iraqi border and calling in airstrikes from U.S.-led coalition warplanes. The autonomous region of Rojava in northern Syria has become a bulwark against the Islamic State. The Rojava armed forces, with the aid of U.S. airstrikes and weapons, are retaking territory which had earlier been captured much by ISIL from the Syrian regime. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
