A plane belonging to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) arrived at Sana'a airport on Sunday morning, accompanied by a significant presence of ambulances, following airstrikes that targeted Houthi militia sites in the Yemeni capital. Field intelligence indicated that the aircraft, designated RED360, landed at 10:35 AM local time and departed at 11:12 AM. A large number of ambulances were observed both inside and around the airport premises. The arrival of the ICRC plane follows a military operation conducted by the Yemeni Armed Forces' warplanes and drones early Friday. This operation targeted a Houthi militia operations center in Sana'a, according to local and field sources. Sources reported that leaders associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanon's Hezbollah were present at the targeted location during the strikes. These sources claim the strikes resulted in casualties, including fatalities and injuries. Information regarding the specific mission of the Red Cross aircraft, or whether its arrival is directly linked to the airstrikes, remains unconfirmed. Independent verification of the casualty figures or the identities of those injured has not been possible. |
