Aircraft from a Saudi-led coalition Sunday bombed Yemen’s Houthi outposts across the country, residents said, while Yemen’s government in exile said the militia was in talks with the U.S. in Oman, Reuters reports.

The raids hit an air base near Sanaa airport and a military installation aligned with the Houthis overlooking the presidential palace compound in the capital Sanaa.

The Houthis’ TV channel Al-Masira said the coalition had launched 25 airstrikes on the main Houthi provinces of Saada and Hajja along the kingdom’s border, adding that Saudi ground forces were also shelling the areas.

Residents in Saada confirmed to Reuters by phone that Houthi positions were heavily bombed by warplanes, but there was no immediate confirmation by Saudi authorities.

In the central city of Taiz, also a main battleground between armed Hadi loyalists and Houthi militiamen, residents reported Arab airstrikes on Houthi forces gathered in a historic mountaintop fortress and a nearby special forces base.
