STORYLINE:
The Saudi-led airstrike campaign on Yemen entered its 14th day on Wednesday, targeting Shiite Houthi rebels who took over the capital, Sanaa, in September.
The rebels eventually forced embattled President Abed Rabo Mansour Hadi to flee.
Wednesday's strike hit a residential area in the capital, leaving several people injured.
It was not immediately clear if there were any fatalities.
The airstrikes have targeted military camps and air bases, weapons depots and rebel headquarters, regularly hitting civilian congregations in all but four of Yemen's 21 provinces.
Critics say Shiite power Iran backs the Houthis, though both the Islamic Republic and the rebels deny any direct military assistance.
The World Health Organisation warned on Tuesday of an unfolding humanitarian crisis, saying at least 560 people, including dozens of children, have been killed, mostly in the air campaign and ground battles.
The aid group said that over 1,700 people have been wounded and another 100,000 have fled their homes as fighting has intensified over the past three weeks.
The Gulf Arab-backed air campaign supporting Hadi, which began on March 26, has so far failed to stop the Houthis' advance on Aden, Yemen's second-largest city, which was declared the provisional capital by Hadi before he fled.
