Al Masirah TV Says Saudi Airstrikes Hit Sanaa Airport

Al Masirah TV, which is controlled by Yemen’s Houthi movement, claimed Saudi Arabia carried out airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport, raising concerns about a wider regional escalation and its potential effect on crypto-market sentiment.

Saudi authorities and Yemen’s internationally recognized government have not confirmed the alleged attack. Details on casualties or damage to airport infrastructure were not available.

The claim comes amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and Houthi forces and would represent a significant escalation if confirmed. The conflict has remained under a United Nations-brokered truce since April 2022.

A confirmed strike could increase concern about renewed direct hostilities and pressure broader risk sentiment, including in digital assets. Market participants are watching for official statements from Saudi Arabia, Yemen’s recognized government or Houthi forces that could clarify whether the reported attack occurred.
