Arab coalition warplanes shelled on Thursday positions dominated by Houthis and pro-former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh militants, eyewitnesses said.

The jets targeted two camps affiliated to the republican guard as well as other two camps in Sanaa.

Huge explosions were seen in the camps after the jets struck it, eyewitnesses added.

One of the camps is believed to include rockets' warehouses, they further said.

Houthis took control of Yemen's capital Sanaa last September. Arab countries intervened in the conflict in March to halt a Houthi advance into southern Yemen which caused President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee to Riyadh from his refuge in the southern port of Aden.
