The Saudi-led coalition on Wednesday launched a series of airstrikes on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, which is under Houthi control, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.

The residents said that the airstrikes targeted the vicinity of Sanaa airport in the north of the capital as well as military sites in the mountain of Nuqom and the area of al-Sawad, both in the south of Sanaa.

No casualties were reported and the coalition has made no comment on the attack.

It was the second attack by the coalition on the Houthi sites in Sanaa in two weeks.

Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi rebels seized control of much of the country's north and forced the Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of Sanaa.

The Saudi-led coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in early 2015 to support Hadi's government.

The Yemeni five-year war has killed tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, displaced 3 million and pushed more than 20 million to the brink of starvation.
