The Israeli Air Force has struck Sana'a International Airport in Yemen's capital, controlled by the Houthis, Yemeni media outlet Brranpress reports. In turn, the Yemeni media outlet YPA reports that US and Israeli warplanes are striking different parts of Yemen.

The military said the missile was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, but police reported shrapnel from the interception fell in several towns. There were no reports of injuries.
