Shortly after the announcement was made, witnesses on social media reported a series of heavy explosions rocking the city within minutes of each other along with the sound of jets in the air.

The coalition says the Houthi installations pose a threat to the UN and other international organizations’ aircraft travelling across the Yemeni airspace.
