All flights to and from Yemen's Sanaa International Airport have been suspended until further notice due to extensive damage following Israeli strike, the airport's general director said on Wednesday in a post on X.

The Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Yemen's main airport in Sanaa on Tuesday, its second attack in two days on Iran-aligned Houthi rebels after a surge in tensions between the group and Israel.
