Iran-aligned Houthi authorities controlling northern Yemen accuse Saudi Arabia of carrying out airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport. Multiple outlets report that the Houthis say the strikes occurred as an Iranian plane with a Houthis delegation was attempting to land, and that the apparent aim was to prevent the aircraft from arriving. Houthi officials describe the attack as “blatant aggression,” state that the incident ends a period of de-escalation, and say retaliation will follow. One account also says the Houthis later launch missiles at Saudi Arabia, framing this as direct response to the earlier airport strikes. The sources consistently describe runway damage and video footage shared by Houthi-linked media showing impacts near airport facilities. Reports also note that Saudi Arabia does not immediately respond to the accusations in the hours after the incident. Overall, the reports present a dispute over responsibility for the airport attack and a continuing escalation in the Yemen conflict, with Saudi-Yemen regional tensions playing out through the airport incident and subsequent retaliatory threats and attacks.
