Yemen Rebels Declare End of De-Escalation After Government Forces Strike Sanaa Airport
Al Jazeera—The internationally recognized Yemeni government claimed its forces struck Sanaa airport, which is under Houthi control, in a significant escalation of the country's internal conflict. In response, Yemen's Houthi rebels announced they were ending their de-escalation phase, signaling a potential intensification of hostilities. The airport strikes mark a notable shift by government forces, who had previously focused on defensive operations. The move risks drawing in regional players and complicating international stabilization efforts.
