Yemen's Houthi movement said Saudi Arabia carried out strikes on the capital Sanaa and three other Yemeni provinces, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
Separately, the Yemeni military said 27 strikes hit Houthi positions in the southwestern province of Taiz, amid what the report described as cross-border attacks.
Escalating cross-border exchanges
The claims could not be independently verified, and neither the Saudi government nor Yemeni officials aligned with the government provided an immediate, detailed account of the strikes described by the Houthis.
Yemen has endured years of conflict pitting the Houthi movement, which controls much of the country's north including Sanaa, against a Saudi-backed coalition supporting the internationally recognized Yemeni government.
Taiz, where the Yemeni military reported the strikes on Houthi positions, has long been a front line in the conflict, with the city itself divided between government and Houthi-controlled areas.
The latest reported exchanges add to concerns about the fragility of a broader de-escalation that has periodically held in parts of Yemen in recent years.
