An Iranian aircraft is attempting to land at Hodeida International Airport while Saudi Arabia reportedly strikes the airport to prevent the landing, according to reports. The development follows earlier Saudi attacks on Sanaa airport that forced an Iranian plane to divert to Hodeida.
An Iranian aircraft is attempting to land at Hodeida International Airport while Saudi Arabia reportedly strikes the airport to prevent the landing, according to unverified reports. The development follows a series of events today: a Houthi military spokesman accused Saudi Arabia of airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport, and an Iranian Mahan Air flight bound for Sanaa was diverted to Hodeida after Saudi attacks on the runways. The Houthi foreign ministry had earlier warned Saudi Arabia that disrupting Sanaa airport would have consequences. The outcome of the attempted landing at Hodeida remains unclear.
