Arab coalition jets raided different parts of Taez in the southwest of Yemen Monday.

The jets targeted Houthi outposts and areas where troops loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh are stationed, killing dozens of them, according to Mandab Press.

The political security HQ, the criminal investigation bureau and the historic Cairo castle were hit in the strikes, the Yemeni agency said.

It made it clear that Houthis have been sheltering inside the castle and have been using it as an air defense base in the city of al Nour.
