The second Israeli attack on Sanaa in less than a week

TEL AVIV - Israel's army radio said on Friday the military had targeted the Houthi chief of staff and the Iran-aligned group's defence minister on Thursday, and was awaiting confirmation on the outcome of the strike.

Residents in the Yemeni capital told Reuters the attacks struck an area near the presidential complex and a building in southern Sanaa.

Yemeni military sources said the presidential complex housed an operations room and a missile storage facility used by the Iran-aligned militants.
