Flights in and out of Sanaa suspended following ‘wild’ Israeli attack, airport says
All flights to and from Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport have been suspended until further notice due to extensive damage following an Israeli strike, the airport’s general director says in a post on X.
A notice to airmen, or NOTAM, issued by the airport Tuesday evening announced the facility was closed “due to the wild damage caused by barbaric Israeli aggressive bombardment.” The notice is active until May 20 at least.
The Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Yemen’s main airport in Sanaa on Tuesday, its second attack in two days on Iran-aligned Houthi rebels after a surge in tensions between the group and Israel.
