Yemen flights cancelled as coalition shuts airports

SANAA, YEMEN : Yemen’s national airline said Monday it has canceled all flights to the country’s only two functioning airports after the Saudi-led coalition battling Houthi rebels announced the closure of all land, air and sea ports. The tightening of an embargo that has been in place since 2015 came after a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis at an international airport on the outskirts of the Saudi capital was intercepted. The Houthis have fired missiles in the past , but Saturday’s strike appeared to be the deepest yet.
