An airstrike by Saudi-led forces on houses in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, has killed at least 20 people, mostly civilians, according to medics and officials cited by Reuters.
It was previously reported that officials had identified the target as the Marina hotel in Sanaa's southern al-Asbahi district.
It comes after coalition air raids against Houthi forces in Sanaa killed at least 40 civilians and injured at least 130 others overnight on Friday.
