Iranian plane lands in Yemen after strikes fail to stop it, Houthi media says

An Iranian plane carrying a Houthi delegation back from Tehran has landed in Yemen, the Iran-backed Yemeni terror group says, after Yemen’s government said it struck Sanaa airport to prevent the aircraft from landing.

Houthi broadcaster al-Masirah quotes the group’s transport minister as saying “the Iranian plane has landed on the homeland’s soil, carrying a number of medical patients and stranded citizens, accompanied by the official delegation of the Republic of Yemen.”
