The Houthi movement has reportedly repaired the craters on the runways of Sanaa International Airport, caused by Saudi strikes three days ago, and is preparing for another round of efforts to break the Saudi-led air blockade, according to Houthi-affiliated reports.
The Houthi movement has reportedly repaired the craters on the runways of Sanaa International Airport, which were created by Saudi airstrikes three days ago, and is now preparing for another attempt to break the air blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia and its allies. The repair work signals the group's intent to resume flights to and from the airport, which has been under a Saudi-led blockade since 2015. The Houthis have previously threatened to strike Saudi airports if the blockade continues, as The Zioneer reported on July 3. In early July, an Iranian Mahan Air flight landed in Sanaa, breaching the blockade, as The Zioneer reported. The latest preparations come amid ongoing tensions and a broader Houthi campaign to challenge the Saudi and American efforts to isolate them.
