The US carried out a second consecutive night of strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, according to a US defense official.

The United States and the United Kingdom have launched air strikes in Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa, a television station run by the Houthi rebel group has reported, with the Pentagon saying it targeted advanced weapons storage facilities in the raids.

The United States and Britain launched raids on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, the Amran governorate and other areas, Al Masirah TV, the main television news outlet run by the Houthi movement, reported on Sunday.

About nine raids targeted Sanaa, its suburbs and the Amran governorate. "Eyewitnesses said they heard intense flying, along with explosions in different parts of the capital Sanaa," Al Masirah said.
