Sanaa Airport Strike Sparks Yemen Tensions | Lubbock News
Description
Airstrikes hit Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, sparking a new flashpoint in the regional conflict. Saudi-backed forces claim they targeted the runway to stop a Houthi delegation plane—carrying mourners from Iran’s Supreme Leader’s funeral—from landing. The Houthis dispute this, saying the plane diverted and landed safely elsewhere. Saudi Arabia hasn’t officially confirmed, but Yemen’s defense ministry ordered evacuations, signaling serious escalation. Iran’s involvement via Mahan Air adds complexity, while Houthi officials vow retaliation, ending what was left of a fragile de-escalation.
