At least 33 people were killed in airstrikes on the village of al-Shariya near the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Saturday, the Health Ministry for Yemen's Houthi rebels said.

Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi added in a post on X early on Sunday that at least 39 people had been wounded.

Eight women and 13 children were among those killed, Alasbahi said.

Earlier, Alasbahi had told the Associated Press that Saudi Arabia had carried out the strikes.

He said in another post on X that the strikes had hit several homes.

The Houthi-linked Al-Masirah broadcaster showed purported footage of the attack showing piles of debris and wounded people in a hospital.

There was no initial comment from Saudi Arabia on the reported strikes.
