The officials, who remain neutral in the conflict that has splintered the country, spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. The coalition recently has sought to retake the rebel-held capital, Sanaa.
More than 2,100 civilians, including at least 400 children, have been killed in the conflict.
