Riyadh Strikes Houthi-Controlled Airport To Block Flight From Iran...

Saudi Arabia struck the airport in Sanaa to prevent a direct flight from Iran to Houthi-controlled territory. The move ended a four-year truce between Saudi forces and the Houthis after Tehran and its Yemeni proxy sought to open the route.

The attempted flight path involved the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen and directly challenged Saudi security interests in the region.
