Yemen's Houthi militia said the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen launched 14 airstrikes on their positions on Thursday.
The group's al-Masirah TV station reported four airstrikes on Haradh district in the northern province of Hajjah, one on al-Buka area in the northern province of Saada and nine on Sirwah district in the central province of Marib.
The Saudi-led coalition has made no comment on the Houthi allegations.
On Monday, the coalition announced the interception of two drones launched by the Houthi militia toward the Saudi border city of Khamis Mushait against civilians.
Turki Al-Maliki, spokesman of the coalition, said the Houthis reject the cease-fire that has been enforced by the coalition since April 9.
The decision came after a call by UN Secretary-General Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths for warring parties to lay down their weapons.
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 Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the capital Sanaa.
The Saudi-led coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in early 2015 to support Hadi's government.
The five-yearYemeni civil war has pushed more than 20 million people to the brink of starvation.
