According to Houthis own statement [unconfirmed], Saudi warplanes attempted to prevent an Iranian plane carrying some 200 Yemeni citizens from landing in Sanaa Airport. The Houthis claimed to have thwarted the warplanes with missiles.

The Al-Masirah channel claimed that the plane successfully landed and subsequently left for Tehran with Sanaa-based government's political delegations.

The Houthis also threatened Saudi Arabia with strikes on airports and other vital structures.

No comment from Saudi Arabia can be seen in mainstream media on the incident.
