House of former Yemeni president's nephew bombed

Arab coalition jets on Friday bombed a house of Tawfeek el Ahmar, the nephew of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Columns of smoke rose from the house in the south of Sanaa, witnesses said.

Warplanes flew at low altitude in Sanaa for a long time, where voices of anti-aircraft were also heard clearly.

The United Nations has announced an unconditional week-long humanitarian ceasefire in Yemen where more than 80 percent of the country's 25 million people are believed to be in need of some form of emergency aid.

The truce will start on Friday, July 10 at 23:59 local time until the end of Ramadan on July 17.
