At least 20 civilians are reported to be among the dead after a Saudi-led raid on Yemen.

45 people are said to have been killed following the airstrikes on a rebel-held armed forces headquarters in central Sanaa, according to AFP.

Civilian buildings are also said to have been destroyed.

Emergency workers are still combing through wreckage, with more than 100 people believed to have been injured as a result of the raid.

The violence comes just hours after the UN confirmed peace talks would start next weekend in Geneva. Yemen's Houthi rebels and the government will participate in the talks, set to take place on Sunday 14th June.

More than 2,000 people have lost their lives as a result of the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
