SANAA, March 26 (Xinhua) -- Saudi warplanes raided military camps belonging to the Shiite Houthi group in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Thursday, killing at least 25 civilians and wounding 50 others, rescue personnel told Xinhua.

Warplanes struck the al-Dailamy air force base in northern Sanaa and destroyed the runway, which is adjacent to the civil airport, a defense ministry official told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The strikes also targeted weapons depots at a missile base in the southern part of Sanaa, which is controlled by the army loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
