RIYADH: The Saudi-led coalition targeted Al-Dailami air base and destroyed its arms warehouses on Wednesday close to Sanaa’s airport. Eyewitnesses said blasts rocked Sanaa at dawn as smoke billowed, indicating that the arms warehouse seized by Houthis had been targeted.

This strike comes after dozens of Houthi militias were killed on Tuesday after a Scud missile went off while it was being launched from the base.

The coalition has also intensified its raids on Houthi positions in Marib and used Apaches for surveillance in order to force out the militias from the governorate.
