The Saudi-led coalition has declared an end to the first phase of its operations against the Huthi Shiite rebels and their allies, but vowed to keep hitting them with targeted bombing when necessary.
Two days on, a new wave of strikes killed at least 23 rebels as the World Health Organisation said the overall death toll from fighting in Yemen since late March topped 1,000.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced plans to appoint Mauritanian diplomat Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed as his new envoy to the country.
Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies launched the air war on March 26 in an attempt to restore the authority of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who was forced to flee abroad last month as the rebels swept across the country.

After the end of Operation Decisive Storm, the coalition said the campaign would enter a phase dubbed Renewal of Hope focusing on political efforts, aid deliveries and "fighting terrorism".
But the Saudi ambassador to the US, Adel al-Jubeir, has since warned that "the Huthis should be under no illusion that we will use force in order to stop them taking over Yemen by aggressive actions".
And in Bahrain, Yemeni Foreign Minister Riyadh Yassin accused Iran trying to run the coalition naval blockade on his country.
He described the war as an "attack on all Yemenis based on an Iranian plot implemented by the Huthi militia."
The conflict topped the agenda as Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited Riyadh, expressing "solidarity" with the kingdom after his parliament refused to send forces to help the coalition.
The Saudi-led alliance says it has destroyed the Huthis' missile and air capabilities, but the rebels still control Sanaa and swathes of the country while Hadi remains in self-exile in Riyadh.
"We demand, after a complete end to the aggression against Yemen and the lifting of the blockade, to resume political dialogue... Under the sponsorship of the United Nations," said spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam.
