Saudi airstrikes on Sanaa airport kill two in Yemen

newsbomb.gr (Greek) —

Saudi airstrikes on Sanaa airport in Yemen killed two people and wounded two staff members on Friday, according to Houthi-affiliated media. The attack came one day after a Houthi drone strike on Riyadh airport killed three people. The strike targeted the airport in Yemen's capital, which is controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The Houthis are at war with Yemen's internationally recognized government, which is supported by Saudi Arabia. The incident marks an escalation in tit-for-tat attacks between the two sides. The Houthi attack on Riyadh airport was the first of its kind to cause fatalities in the Saudi capital.
