The Saudi-led coalition bombarded a factory in the Yemen's capital Sanaa, the Houthi militia has claimed.
The factory for producing plastic materials is near a major hospital and around 2 km south of Houthi-controlled Sanaa International airport, reports Xinhua news agency. "The factory is owned by a Syrian citizen," the militia-run al-Masirah TV reported on Tuesday night without providing further details. Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement that the airstrike destroyed a major target, where the Houthi militia used to store ballistic missiles in Sanaa's Dhahban neighbourhood. According to Sanaa residents, a series of powerful explosions were heard and a big fire was seen miles away from the targeted site. The airstrike came hours after the Al-Arabiya TV reported that the coalition intercepted a bomb-laden drone aimed at Saudi Arabia's Najran International airport. The Iran-backed Houthi militia has recently intensified cross-border missile and drone attacks. In February, the rebel group began a major offensive against the Saudi-backed Yemeni government army to capture the oil-rich province of Marib. --IANS ksk/ ( 181 Words) 2021-11-24-09:26:03 (IANS)
