The Saudi-led airstrikes killed at least 44 people during an air raid on the main headquarters of the Yemeni army in Yemen’s capital of Sanaa on Sunday, the state news agency Saba said.

"At least 20 civilians were killed" in four raids that hit the headquarters in the Tahrir residential neighborhood in Sanaa, a medic said.

More than 100 people, including women and children, were also wounded in the attack, which destroyed private houses in the Tahrir district of central Sanaa adjacent to the compound, Saba said.

Saudi Arabia is continuing its brutal airstrikes against Yemen despite the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the impoverished country.

The US-led Saudi military aggression against Yemen began on March 26 -- without a UN mandate -- in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement, and to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
