Yemen's Ansar Allah forces, commonly known as the Houthis, reported that Saudi Arabia conducted airstrikes on Sana'a International Airport on July 13. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree stated the attack was a "blatant and unjust aggression" by the "criminal Saudi enemy," declaring that the strikes marked the end of a de-escalation phase. Saree warned that the aggression "will not go unanswered or unpunished."
According to reports from the scene, smoke was seen rising over the airport following the strikes. One unconfirmed report suggested the airstrikes were an attempt to prevent an Iranian airliner from landing.
These reports remain unconfirmed, with no independent verification available and no official statement issued by Saudi Arabia regarding the alleged incident.
