At least 44 people have been killed and 180 others wounded in a latest round of Saudi airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sana�a.

Saudi warplanes targeted military bases in the al-Tahrir and Jabal al-Naqam areas of the capital during the early hours of Sunday.

Similar attacks were reported in the southwestern province of Ta�izz.

Saudi artillery fire also hit the districts of Rahban, Shida and Razih in the northwestern border province of Sa�ada, which has been one of the hardest hit locations since Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate.

On Saturday, nearly 40 people were killed as warplanes bombarded a school, a media center and a residential area among other locations across the eastern province of Hajjah.

In a retaliatory attack, the Yemeni army, backed by popular committees, fired 13 missiles at two military bases near the southern city of Dhahran al-Janoub, Aseer Province.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 2,000 people have been killed as a result of the conflict in the Arab country since March 19.
