SANAA, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- At least 20 Yemeni Houthi rebels were killed on Sunday when Saudi-led coalition warplanes hit a missile depot in the Yemeni northwestern province of Hajjah, a Houthi security official told Xinhua.

"Nearly 20 fighters were killed and some others wounded in the targeted site," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The depot exploded and caught fire after being hit by more than 10 airstrikes, the official said, without giving further details.

The depot is located in a small military camp run by Houthi rebels in the al-Raboo area in Abs district, which provides military supplies to the fighters in Medi town, which borders Saudi Arabia. Enditem
