SANAA, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition warplanes destroyed a missile depot of the Houthi militia in Yemen's central province of Bayda on Wednesday morning, a local government security source told Xinhua.
"At least five Houthis were killed in the airstrikes" that hit the depot in a mountain in al-Atf area of al-Qurashiyah district, the source in Bayda said on condition of anonymity.
Houthi-run al-Masirah TV also reported the coalition airstrikes in Bayda, without providing more details.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the capital Sanaa.
The Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in 2015 to support Hadi's government. Enditem
