According to Al-Masirah’s correspondent in Sana’a, enemy warplanes carried out four strikes, hitting the airport’s runway and a Yemenia Airlines aircraft.

This attack is part of a broader pattern of aggression that Yemen has faced in recent years, involving US, Saudi, British, and Israeli forces. The airport, which plays a vital role in serving both civilian passengers and humanitarian aid operations, has been repeatedly targeted, raising serious concerns over the impact on innocent civilians and the obstruction of essential services.
