Yemen govt says hit Sanaa airport, Houthis attack Saudi Arabia

The Yemeni government has claimed responsibility for an attack on Sanaa airport, accusing the Houthi rebels of targeting Saudi Arabia in retaliation. This escalation marks a significant flare-up in the long-frozen conflict between the Saudi-backed Yemeni government and the Houthis, raising concerns about further destabilization in the region. The Saudis said they aimed to prevent an Iranian plane from landing, amid suspicions that Iran is supporting the Houthis. This recent violence underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics and the potential for a wider conflict involving regional powers.
