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