SANAA, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Warplanes of the Saudi-led coalition launched multiple airstrikes on Houthi militia-held military sites in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Sunday, residents told Xinhua.

The strikes hit the sites on the top of the mountains of Ayban and Dhula Hamdan in western Sanaa.

Meanwhile, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported three coalition airstrikes. The coalition has made no comment yet.

Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of Sanaa.

The Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in 2015 to support the government of Hadi. Enditem
