Saudi led airstrikes in Yemen killed at least 25 people and wounded more than 30 people in the capital Sanaa, Monday, according to medical and police sources in the city.
Sources told Reuters news agency that some people were still trapped under the rubble as aid workers continued to unearth bodies.
The airstrikes hit the headquarters of the traffic police in the Yemeni capital, which has been under the control of Ansarullah rebels, also known as Houthis, since January last year.

The latest airstrikes came a day after six people were killed and several wounded when a suicide car bomb exploded outside the home of the director of security for the port city of Aden, Reuters reported.
On Sunday, Yemeni journalist Almigdad Mojalli, who has worked for several international news organizations, was also killed when a Saudi airstrike hit his car close to Sanaa as he was returning to his home after covering Saudi raids in other parts of the country.
