Israeli fighter jets launched a series of airstrikes in Yemen’s capital Sanaa targeting Houthi infrastructure at the city’s lone airport, less than a day after similar strikes in the port city of Hodeidah.

Yemeni news agency SABA cited a local source as saying that the attack, which it described as “US-Israeli aggression,” targeted the Sanaa International Airport, the Dhahaban power station in the Bani al-Harith district in the north of Sanaa and the Attan area.

"US forces did not participate in the Israeli strikes on Yemen today," a US defense official told Al-Monitor. Separately, a US official speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity also said US forces were not involved, but noted that there is coordination between the two countries.

On social media, users reported that more than 20 airstrikes were heard in the airport area and some claimed that the airport’s entire terminal and planes have been destroyed.
