The coalition, which backs Yemen's internationally recognised government against the Huthis in a civil war, said it destroyed weapons storehouses in the rebel-held capital, according to the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
"The operation in Sanaa was an immediate response to an attempt to transfer weapons from al-Tashrifat camp in Sanaa," it said in a statement, adding it "destroyed weapons warehouses".

The coalition has intensified its air strikes on Sanaa, targeting earlier this week the airport, whose operations have largely ceased because of a Saudi-led blockade since August 2016, with exemptions for aid flights.
