Two Yemeni civilians were killed and three others injured when a shell struck northern Sanaa on Monday, eyewitnesses have said.
"A shell hit a marketplace in northern Sanaa, killing two civilians and injuring three others," an eyewitness told The Anadolu Agency.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
Fractious Yemen has remained in turmoil since last September, when the Shiite Houthi group overran capital Sanaa, from which they have sought to extend their influence to other parts of the country as well.
Since last Wednesday, Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies have been pounding Houthi positions in crisis-hit Yemen.
Riyadh says the strikes are in response to appeals by embattled President ABD Rabbu Manshour Hadi to "save the [Yemeni] people from the Houthi militias".
Some Gulf countries accuse Shiite Iran of supporting Yemen's Houthi insurgency.
