Saudi Arabian warplanes have bombed residential buildings in the southwestern Yemeni province of Taizz, killing at least 10 people.
The Saturday attacks targeted the provinces As Silw district, Yemens al-Masirah television network reported.
Early reports had said that at least three women were among those killed.
Saudi aircraft also targeted the Nihm district in the Sanaa Province in west-central Yemen and another location in the Shabwah Province in the impoverished countrys south.
Separately, a blast was reported at the checkpoint located near the Central Bank in the Craiter District in the southwestern Yemeni province of Aden, leaving at least three people dead. The details of the attack are yet to be announced.
Saudi Arabia has been waging war on Yemen since March 2015. The war was launched in an unsuccessful attempt to reinstate Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who has resigned as Yemens president.
The war has killed at least 10,000 people, amid countless reports suggesting the deliberate and indiscriminate targeting of civilian infrastructure by Saudi forces and mercenaries.
A Saudi-imposed naval embargo of Yemen, which is the Arab worlds poorest nation, has, meanwhile, led to a famine across much of the country.

Riyadh had previously tried and failed to recruit Pakistan and Lebanon in the offensive.
Some observers say the war has cost Saudi Arabia so much in terms of financial and political capital that it seeks to diminish its own role while enlisting the services of allies to gradually fill in its shoes.
Riyadh has already been hit by a worsening economic crisis due to a sharp fall in oil prices, itself a result of the policies of the Saudi regime.
