Yemen–Saudi Tensions: Yemen’s internationally recognized government says it blocked an Iranian aircraft from landing at Houthi-controlled Sanaa airport, saying no flights can operate without its authorization—after earlier strikes on the runway and renewed missile exchanges that ended a years-long calm. Airspace Control: Yemen’s civil aviation authority in Aden also issued a directive requiring prior clearance for any entry into Yemen’s airspace, reinforcing its claim to manage sovereign skies. Parliament Warns Riyadh: Yemen’s parliament urged Saudi Arabia to heed Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi’s warning, warning that blockade, interference, and escalation could drag the region into a “comprehensive and devastating war.” Blockade Response: Ansarullah officials say Yemen’s forces are preparing for a major battle to end the blockade, framing it as part of a wider regional confrontation. Maritime Security: Suspected Somali pirates hijacked the Tanzanian-flagged tanker MT ASANA off Yemen, moving it toward Puntland waters; the incident adds to a rising wave of Gulf of Aden attacks. Humanitarian Reality: A new analysis highlights how Yemen’s war has pushed poverty and hunger to catastrophic levels, with children hit hardest.
