A Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes on  Houthi forces in Yemen's capital Sanaa, Saudi state television reported early on Saturday.

The strikes hit air-defence systems and other military positions in the Houthi-controlled city, days after the Houthis launched a missile attack on a Saudi airport, according to the TV report.

Saudi authorities says the Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's Abha airport on Wednesday wounded 26 people.
