Saudi-led air strikes hit Yemen's capital after truce - residents


    SANAA (Reuters) - Air strikes by a Saudi-led alliance hit Yemen's capital Sanaa early on Saturday and caused big explosions, residents reported, two hours after a United Nations humanitarian truce took effect.

    The pause to the fighting meant to last a week was aimed at allowing aid deliveries to the country's 21 million needy people who have endured over three months of bombing and civil war.
