Residents said that explosions at a military base at Mount Noqum in the eastern outskirts of Yemen's capital lasted until midday on Tuesday after coalition jets struck the depot late Monday.
The depot was bombed again on Tuesday an AFP correspondent said.
The strikes set off huge explosions that sent debris crashing into a residential area at the foot of the mountain.
