STORYLINE:

A series of airstrikes hit Yemen's capital Sanaa on Tuesday afternoon, targeting military sites under Houthi control, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported.

Two of the airstrikes hit the Defense Ministry building and other areas in downtown Sanaa, while the rest struck the 1st Armor Division and an ammunition manufacturing complex in the city center, said al-Masirah TV without elaborating further.

Ambulances were seen rushing to the scenes, as Houthi forces cordoned off the targeted sites. Residents reported that the powerful airstrikes rocked the whole city, with some houses near the targeted sites being partially damaged.

Dozens of Houthi fighters are believed to have been present at these sites when the strikes took place, but the Houthi group rarely discloses its casualties or losses.

The airstrikes came a few hours after the Houthi group claimed in the morning responsibility for overnight missile attacks targeting the Ben Gurion airport in Israel's Tel Aviv and a power station south of Jerusalem, as well as rocket and drone attacks at U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman.
