Saudi-led airstrike hits Houthi rebels' military site in Yemen's capital: residents

An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition hit a military site of Yemeni Shiite Houthi militia in the southern suburb of the capital Sanaa on Tuesday evening, residents said.
The airstrike in al-Arowsh area of Khawlan al-Tial district triggered a powerful explosion in the military site, they said.
