Sanaa International Airport has been hit by strikes. Houthi rebels and reports in The Jerusalem Post and Ynetnews attribute the attack to Saudi Arabia, while The Times of Israel reports the Houthis are the source of these claims.

Coverage from AP News and The Times of Israel emphasizes the Houthi rebels' assertions regarding the strikes. Conversely, Reuters reports that the Yemeni defense ministry claims the military targeted the airport runway specifically to prevent an Iranian plane from landing.
