At least five people have been killed and over 40 injured in the latest Saudi airstrikes on the war-torn country of Yemen.

The attacks, which targeted an area south of the capital city of Sanaa, took place early on Saturday.

No further details were released about the casualties of the airstrikes.

Saudi warplanes also pounded the presidential palace in Sana’a. On Friday, Saudi airstrikes killed more than 20 in Saada province.

At least 2,300 people have been killed and 7,330 others wounded due to the conflict in the impoverished Arab country since March 19, according to the United Nations.
