Sanaa: A jet fighter of the Saudi-led coalition forces waged an airstrike on a military camp controlled by the Houthi militia in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.

The airstrike hit the centre of the 1st Armored Division Camp, which is located at the hilltop surrounded by densely populated neighbourhoods in the northern part of Sanaa on Wednesday afternoon, Xinhua news agency reported.

Smoke and dust could be seen miles away from the military base and the residents told Xinhua that there was a powerful explosion that rocked the whole city.

On Wednesday, al-Masirah TV reported that the coalition opened fire and targeted border areas in the northwestern province of Saada, killing three and wounding 20 others.

The Saudi-led coalition has made no immediate comment yet, but it has recently intensified airstrikes on hidden stores of ballistic missiles used by the Houthi militia.

Al Arabiya reports:
The Arab Coalition on Thursday said more than 45 Iran-backed Houthi militia members died after the coalition conducted nine target operations in Yemen’s Marib in 24 hours.
