Sanaa International Airport in Yemen's Houthi-controlled capital was struck on July 13, 2026, with the stated purpose of blocking an Iranian plane from landing. Houthis and regional media attribute the attack to Saudi Arabia, though Saudi officials have not confirmed involvement—making the attribution contested even though the strike itself is confirmed by multiple outlets including AP, Jerusalem Post, and YNet. The attack reportedly marks an escalation after a period of relative de-escalation and triggered Houthi retaliatory fire at Saudi Arabia.
