Israeli strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Sunday, the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV said, two days after Houthi militants fired a missile towards Israel.

Sanaa residents said the strikes targeted areas near the presidential complex, missile bases, and oil and power stations. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

On Friday, the Houthis said they had fired a ballistic missile towards Israel. An Israeli Air Force official said on Sunday the missile most likely carried several sub-munitions "intended to be detonated upon impact".
