The US-backed Saudi-led coalition warplanes launched nine airstrikes on Sana’a province, a military official told Yemen Press Agency on Saturday.

According to the official, the airstrikes targeted Nihm district.

On  Friday, the aggression warplanes launched three airstrikes on the same area.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.

The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the past nearly five years.

The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.
