Air raids hit Houthi-held Yemeni capital, with no immediate reports of casualties, says Al Masirah TV.
The United States and the United Kingdom have launched air strikes in Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa, a television station run by the Houthi rebel group has reported, with the Pentagon saying it targeted advanced weapons storage facilities in the raids.
Al Masirah TV reported on Sunday that parts of Sanaa, the northern Amran governorate and other areas were hit overnight. There were no immediate reports of casualties. “Eyewitnesses said they heard intense flying, along with explosions in different parts of Sanaa,” it said.
The Pentagon told the AFP news agency that it targeted facilities, which contained various weapons used to target military and civilian vessels navigating international waters throughout the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The two nations have repeatedly carried out strikes on Yemen since January to stop the Houthi rebels from attacking Israeli-linked commercial ships passing through the Red Sea. In July, strikes in Hodeidah province killed at least 16 people, the Houthis said.
The Houthis, who control larger parts of Yemen, including Sanaa, have been attacking shipping lanes in the Red Sea and firing missiles and drones at Israel in solidarity with Palestinians.
