Thick smoke rose over Sanaa International Airport as planes burned following a series of Israeli air strikes that reportedly left the facility “destroyed,” according to an airport official. The strikes came in response to a Houthi missile attack over the weekend, Yemeni media reported.

Israeli warplanes also targeted a power station in the capital and a cement factory in nearby Amran, according to the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV. The escalation dramatically intensifies regional tensions, with civilian infrastructure heavily affected.
