| [AnNahar] Saudi-led air attacks on rebel positions in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Tuesday killed at least 10 people, an Agence La Belle France Presse correspondent and medics said, as powerful kabooms rocked the city. Witnesses said coalition targets included the police academy and the headquarters of the security services, both in the heart of the city which Shiite Houthis have controlled since September last year. Overnight strikes also targeted the Sanaa residences of Huthi leaders, witnesses said. Witnesses reported plumes of smoke rising from the security headquarters while residents near the police academy said many people were maimed by flying glass when the blasts shattered windows.
