Air strikes on Yemen capital resume, civilians killed

The strikes came after UN backed talks broke down over the weekend

Arab coalition fighter jets hit Yemen's capital Sanaa for the first time in more than three months.

A Saudi-led military coalition has conducted air strikes on the Yemeni capital Sanaa for the first time in more than three months and locals said that 14 civilians were killed in a factory.


Medics working in the area told the Reuters news agency that the civilians were killed in a strike on a crisp factory in the Nahda district of the capital.

The strikes also forced the suspension of flights into Sanaa International Airport for 72 hours from late on Monday.
