On Sunday, Houthi-aligned media reported several strikes by the Saudi-led coalition on territories under Houthi control, including Sanaa’s international airport. The attacks resulted in civilian casualties; according to Saudi sources cited by Reuters, 12 people were killed, including four Saudi citizens and individuals from other nations. While Saudi Arabia blamed Yemen’s Houthis for an earlier attack on a passenger terminal that caused civilian deaths, the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of causing recent strikes without taking responsibility for previous attacks on Riyadh airport. Both sides have escalated their targeting of each other's air infrastructure, with the Houthis issuing warnings against using Saudi airspace except for travel to Mecca and Medina.

Story summary
On Sunday, Houthi-aligned media reported that several strikes hit areas under their control in Yemen, including Sanaa International Airport, which is currently under rebel control. The attacks also reportedly targeted the Harf Sufyan district in Amran governorate, north of Sanaa. No immediate response was provided by Saudi Arabia regarding these specific incidents.
Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition vowed a strong retaliation following an October 10 attack on a passenger terminal at another airport (likely in Yemen), claiming it as a war crime and violation of international humanitarian law. The incident resulted in civilian deaths, including 12 fatalities, comprising four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshi nationals, and one each from the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan.
The coalition’s spokesperson, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, blamed the Houthi militia for the attack on the airport terminal. Both sides have been targeting air infrastructure as part of a tit-for-tat strategy in their ongoing conflict, asserting that they will continue to escalate until achieving their objectives.
