Houthis Target Saudi Airport After Strike On Sanaa Airport, UN Warns Of Major Escalation In Yemen
Houthi rebels fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia's Abha International Airport in retaliation for airstrikes on Yemen's Sanaa International Airport.
The airstrike on Sanaa International Airport aimed to stop an Iranian aircraft from landing, according to the Yemeni government.
UN Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari warned that Yemen could slide back into open conflict and called for negotiations under UN auspices.
Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree warned commercial carriers to avoid Saudi airspace until the blockade on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.
No casualties were reported from the attack on Abha, but the strikes ended a period of relative calm that held since 2022.
