SANAA, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi rebels said a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a plastic factory in the western outskirts of the capital Sanaa on Tuesday.

The militia-run al-Masirah TV said the targeted factory is located in Radam area in Bani Matar district.

It provided no further details.

The Saudi-led coalition has made no comment yet on the alleged attack.

Houthi militia has intensified cross-border missile and drone attacks on Saudi cities over the past days. All Houthi attacks had been intercepted, according to the coalition statements.

Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi rebels seized control of much of the country's north and forced the internationally-recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of Sanaa.

The Saudi-led coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in March 2015 to support Hadi's government. Enditem
