The Saudi-led coalition warplanes launched six strikes on the capital Sana’a early on Monday.
According to an official who spoke to the State-run news agency Saba, the airstrikes hit al-Dailami air base, which is close to the civil international airport, caused heavy damage to the airport, nearby houses and other public properties.
Meanwhile, the warplanes also hit a private commercial factory west of the capital, damaging it as well as nearby houses.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
About 12,000 people have been killed and over 19,343 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
