CAIRO, January 18. /TASS/. The death toll in the Saudi-led coalition’s strike on Yemen’s capital Sana’a has risen to 23, some of the victims are women and children, the Al-Mayadeen TV reported on Tuesday.

The airstrike targeted the Al-Libi district in the northwest of the city, controlled by members of the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement. According to the report, five residential buildings have been completely destroyed, and dozens of homes nearby were damaged. Some people are still trapped under the rubble.

The continuing strikes prevented ambulance vehicles from reaching the affected area, and forced rescuers to suspend the search effort.

Late on Monday, the Saudi-led coalition announced it was resuming its airstrikes on Sana’a in the wake of a deadly attack on UAE. The Al-Libi district houses a pilots’ school and an air defense training facility, which were probably seen as targets.

Earlier in the day, Yemeni Houthi drones attacked facilities of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and a construction site in the vicinity of Abu Dhabi International Airport. As a result, at least four people were killed and at least five injured in a fire that broke out at an ADNOC facility.

The Al Mayadeen TV channel reported, citing Houthi military spokesman General Yahiya Saria, that the targets in the UAE were attacked by five ballistic and cruise missiles and a large number of drones. The general warned that Ansar Allah was ready to broaden the list of potential targets, adding more important facilities to it. He also claimed that the attack targeted the airport of Dubai, and called upon UAE citizens and guests to stay away from important infrastructure facilities for their own safety.
