Saudi-led coalition stepped up aggression on Sanaa, with warplanes launching a series of strikes on the Yemeni capital late Wednesday.

Yemen’s Al-Massira TV said that at least three strikes targeted Al-Sabeen residential area in Sanaa, causing destruction to a number of houses there.

Another raid directly hit Al-Sabeen Bridge, the Beirut-based TV added.

The strikes caused panic among citizens who went out of their houses in Al-Sabeen area, according to Al-Massirah.

Earlier on Monday, Saudi-led warplanes carried several air strikes on Sanaa international airport. Due to the raids, the UN aid flights were halted as the airport was no longer able to receive aircraft operated by the United Nations.

Yemen has been since March 25, 2015 under aggression by the Saudi-led coalition in a bid to restore power to fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is Riyadh’s ally. Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been killed or injured by Saudi-led airstrikes.

The Arab country has been also under harsh blockade b the coalition which includes in addition to the Kingdom, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco and Sudan.
