The Israeli military has said it "fully disabled" Yemen's main airport in the capital Sanaa, which is controlled by the Houthis. Tuesday's strikes targeted three civilian planes, the departures hall, the runway and a military air base, airport sources told Reuters. An official told AFP that the airport had been "completely destroyed".

The strikes came after Israel launched airstrikes in retaliation for a Houthi missile strike​ the previous day on Israel's international airport.

Israel struck multiple sites in Yemen’s capital Sanaa Tuesday, including the main airport, which the Israeli military said has now been “fully” disabled.
