At the same time, the Iran-backed Houthi movement says Saudi forces carried out airstrikes in the area, according to the media channel Al-Masirah TV, which is linked to the Yemeni movement.

Earlier on Saturday, the telecommunications network was attacked by missiles in the northwestern province of Saada, according to the outlet.

In Sanaa, an AFP correspondent heard at least five explosions in different areas, while another reporter saw two fighter jets firing missiles at the capital.

A fragile ceasefire between the Houthi movement and Yemen's internationally recognized government, which is militarily supported by Saudi Arabia, collapsed in July. The country's civil war has been going on for more than a decade.
