At least 11 people, including women and children, have been killed in Saudi airstrikes in Yemen's capital Sanaa, according to media outlets affiliated with the Houthi rebels.
The Houthi-affiliated Sanaa news agency reported that the strikes hit Al-Sariyah in Sanaa province.
“Eleven people, including women and children, have been martyred in Saudi enemy airstrikes in Al-Sariyah, Sanaa province. Rescue operations are underway to recover the injured and dead,” the agency reported.
It also alleged that paramedics came under attack twice during the rescue operation.
The latest strikes came a day after Houthi rebels reported that at least 30 people were killed in a Saudi airstrike on a market in Yemen's Taiz province.
However, Yemen's internationally recognised government later claimed that the casualties resulted from a Houthi missile strike on the market.
The targeted market was located in Al-Waziya district of Taiz, an area controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi group.
Houthi forces launched a major military offensive in September to expand their control across Yemen. In response, forces backed by Saudi Arabia and aligned with the internationally recognised Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) government have been conducting counter-operations. The government currently controls parts of southern Yemen, while Taiz has emerged as a major battleground.
Meanwhile, Anis al-Asbahi, spokesperson for the Houthi-controlled Health Ministry, told the group's Saba news agency after Friday's attack that Saudi aircraft had carried out several strikes on a market in Al-Waziya.
A Health Ministry statement said 30 people were killed and eight injured in the attack. Rescue teams were continuing to search the rubble for bodies, raising fears that the death toll could increase.
Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sarea claimed that the attack was carried out by an aircraft that took off from Saudi Arabia's Khamis Mushait airbase on Friday.
