Airstrikes hit homes in a village near Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Saturday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 30 others, mostly women and children, a spokesman for Yemen's Houthi-run Health Ministry said.

Speaking to The Associated Press, Anees Alasbahi accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out the strikes on al-Shariya.

The AP could not independently verify the claims, and Saudi Arabia's Information Ministry did not immediately reply to an AP request for comment.
