# Yemen truce unravels after Saudi airstrike, Iran flight blocked 2026-08-10T21:46:27+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Yemen's fragile truce began unravelling on July 13 when a Saudi airstrike hit the runway of Sanaa airport, preventing an Iranian flight carrying a high-ranking Houthi delegation from landing. The attack sparked a series of tit-for-tat actions between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebels. The incident marks a sharp escalation after months of relative calm. The Houthi leadership condemned the strike as a violation of the ceasefire, while the coalition claimed the flight was transporting weapons. No independent confirmation of the claim has been reported, NDTV says. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: ceasefire violation, Houthi, Iran flight, Sanaa airport, Saudi airstrike, Yemen Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/yemen-truce-unravels-after-saudi-airstrike-iran-flight-blocked/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
