The US-backed Saudi-led coalition warplanes on Tuesday launched two airstrikes on Yemen’s Sana’a province, a security official told Yemen Press Agency.
The air strikes were launched at a maintenance camp in the capital Sana’a, causing damages to its facilities and to nearby houses, the official said.
Saudi Arabia and its allies launched the deadly military aggression against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the country's former Riyadh-allied regime and crush the Houthis, who have been running state affairs in the absence of an effective government.
The war is estimated to have left 56,000 Yemenis dead.
Back in June, the Saudi-led coalition launched an offensive on the port city of Hodeida despite international warnings that it would compound the war-torn nation’s humanitarian crisis.
The Saudi-led offensive, coupled with a naval blockade, has destroyed Yemen's infrastructure and led to famine in the import-dependent state.
About 8.4 million Yemenis are now facing starvation. The number is likely to increase to 14 million.
