Continued strikes on Houthi sites in Sanaa, Amran and Sanaa International Airport

Airstrikes hit Houthi-affiliated sites in Yemen in succession, starting with Houthi-affiliated media reporting strikes on Sanaa, then renewed strikes within the "Fajr al-Yemen" operation on Sanaa and Amran, and culminating in four strikes on Sanaa International Airport that Houthi media attributed to Saudi warplanes. This coincided with Yemeni government forces announcing the foiling of Houthi infiltration attempts on the western coast fronts, while the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation announced that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was subjected to two attacks.
