Saudi Airstrikes Target Sanaa International Airport, Houthis Vow Retaliation
Yemen's Houthi rebels accused Saudi Arabia of conducting targeted airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport on July 13, 2026, to block an incoming Iranian aircraft. The Houthis declared the multi-year de facto truce with Riyadh at an end and warned of imminent 'punishment' and attacks on the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The incident caused Brent crude prices to rise above $79 as fears of regional escalation and disruptions to Saudi oil exports intensified.
