's fighter jets have pounded a military airport in Yemen's southern province of Shabwa.

According to eyewitness on Thursday, the Saudi warplanes targeted a military command center in the province as well, the Anadolu Agency reported.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in the latest Saudi act of aggression.

The air raids by Saudi Arabia came after Ansarullah fighters managed to take control of Ataq, the capital of oil-rich Shabwa, earlier in the day.

Saudi Arabia's air campaign against Ansarullah fighters started on March 26, without a UN mandate, in a bid to restore power to the country's runaway former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
