CAIRO/WASHINGTON: US-British air strikes targeted Houthi positions in capital city of Sanaa and the city of Saada early on Thursday, Yemen’s Al Masirah TV said on Thursday.

A separate report by the United States' ABC News also said the US military struck Houthi weapons storage facilities in Yemen.

“US Central Command forces conducted multiple airstrikes on numerous Iran-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities within Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen,” a US defense official said, according to ABC News.

Centcom, whose coverage includes the Middle East region, South Asia and North Africa, has not issued any statement so far on the latest development.
