Warplanes struck Houthi positions east of the coastal city of Mokha in southwestern Yemen, “Yemen TV” reported Wednesday, according to Anadolu Agency.
The broadcaster did not provide further details about the targets or any casualties. There was no immediate information about the extent of the damage or comment from the Houthis.
The airstrikes came amid an ongoing military offensive against the Houthis in southwestern Yemen.
On Tuesday, the Yemeni army said it had carried out 744 attacks against the group over 24 hours, neutralizing around 200 of its members and destroying or damaging 90 vehicles and other military assets.
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and several other provinces in September 2014. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
The Houthis control much of northern and western Yemen, while government forces and their allies hold Aden and large parts of the country’s southern and eastern provinces.
