UPDATE: Israel bombards Yemen airport after drone attack

Israel has bombarded Yemeni international airport in the capital city of Sanaa.

The bomb strikes came after Houthis rebels launched drone attacks near Israeli airport in Tel Aviv.

Plumes of smoke were seen rising above the airport following the strikes by Israeli forces.

So far, at least 3 people have been confirmed dead, while some 28 people have been hospitalised.

According to reports obtained by Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), the airstrikes completely destroyed Yemen’s international airport.

Shortly after the air strikes, President Donald Trump of the United States announced that Yemen’s Houthis have informed the United States of their decision to cease attacks on commercial vessels.

In response, Trump said, the United States will stop all bombings against targeted Yemeni structures.

A Yemeni Houthis rebel has, however, denied that the group will stop attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea.

The spokesman said that Trump’s statement is not accurate.
