- Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of striking Yemen's international airport, which the group controls, according to AP News.
- Iran condemned the attack on the Houthi-held Sanaa airport, per the Times of Israel, while the New York Times framed the incident as part of a conflict over Iranian planes that imperils Yemen's fragile peace.
Why it matters: Iran's direct condemnation of a strike on Houthi-held territory pulls Saudi Arabia and Iran into the same news cycle over Yemen, and the NYT's framing ties the airport attack to an unresolved dispute over Iranian planes that already threatens the country's fragile peace.
