BREAKING NEWS
As a result of the airstrike, three Yemenia Airways aircraft were destroyed, including two Airbus A320s and one Airbus A330. Images circulating on social media indicate that its A330-200 (7O-AFE) has been destroyed, possibly along with two A320s (7O-AFA and -AFC).
The airport terminal was also heavily damaged.
“All those who contributed to the aggression, directly or indirectly, will be brought to justice and we won't stop until they are,” insists the carrier.
The Israel Defense Forces claims the airport – like the port of Hodeidah, a concrete factory, and several power stations, which have also been attacked – is an example of civilian infrastructure being used by the Houthi organisation to transfer weapons and personnel.
It also states that the attacks were carried out “in a targeted manner” with precautions to “minimise harm to civilians”.
Yemenia Airways stated that they “hold the militia responsible” and claimed the aircraft had been “hijacked by the militia.”
The IDF said the Houthis were using Sanaa Airport for military purposes and that civilians were given an evacuation warning before the strike. At least three people were killed, and 35 others were injured.
