Yemen’s international airport in the capital Sana’a was closed after explosions at the nearby al-Dailami air force base yesterday, the independent online publication al-Masdar reported.
Flights, including one from Beirut that was preparing to land at the time of the blast, were redirected to the coastal city of Aden, about 300 kilometers (190 miles) to the south, al-Masdar said, citing unidentified aviation officials. Two military aircraft could be seen on fire, Al Jazeera television reported.
