According to the Yemeni news�website,�Yemen-press, a huge explosion happened in the Faj Attan district after the Saudi fighter jets targeted a missile depot�there. Several people were reportedly killed in the Saudi raid.

The Yemeni air defense system shot at the Saudi warplanes after they entered Sana�a airspace, the website added.

Saudi fighter jets�also carried out several airstrikes in the Safra district in the northwestern province of Sa�ada.

Artillery shells fired by Saudi forces also hit�two other districts in Sa�ada.

There are no exact reports on�the number of casualties in the attacks on Monday.

Saudi Arabia launched its air campaign against Yemen on March 26 - without a United Nations mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the country�s fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

On April 21, Riyadh announced the end of the first phase of its military operation, which has�claimed the lives of nearly 1,000 people so far, but airstrikes have continued.

According to Yemen�s Health Ministry, the month-long Saudi aggression has killed nearly 150 children and around 100 women.
