ADEN: The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen launched air strikes early on Saturday on two sites in Sanaa, which is controlled by the Houthi movement, residents and a spokesman for the coalition-backed Yemeni forces told Reuters.
The coalition launched nine air strikes on a military engineering camp and the headquarters of the national security apparatus, they said.
The spokesman for the coalition-backed Yemeni forces in Hodeidah, Waddah Al Debeish, said the coalition had targetted a meeting of high-level Houthi leaders at the camp. There was no immediate official confirmation from the Saudi-led coalition.
Saturday’s strikes come after the Houthi group said it had attacked an “important target” in Riyadh on Thursday using a ballistic missile and drones.
The Saudi-led coalition did not confirm an attack on Riyadh but said it had intercepted and destroyed a number of ballistic missiles and explosive drones launched towards the kingdom on Thursday.
