ADEN: The Saudi-led coalition launched 11 air raids on positions of Houthi rebels in the Yemeni capital Sanaa n Sunday, according to the Houthi-run Saba news agency.
Five of Sunday’s attacks hit the vicinity of Sanaa airport, while others targetted the northern and central parts of the city, Saba reported, citing a security source. It is unclear whether there were any casualties.
According to Saudi-owned Al Arabiya media network, the coalition forces attacked Houthi barracks and military sites in Sanaa and destroyed four Houthi drones at Al Delmi airbase north of Sanaa.
There was no immediate official confirmation from the coalition, which had launched air raids on two sites in Sanaa a day earlier.
The attacks followed a Houthi claim it had hit an “important target” in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Thursday, using a ballistic missile and drones.
The coalition did not confirm an attack on Riyadh but said it had intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles and explosive drones launched towards the kingdom on Thursday.
