WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at Yemen's Sanaa airport during Israeli airstrikes on Thursday, which killed 6 and injured 40. Tedros, in Yemen to assess the humanitarian situation and negotiate the release of UN detainees, was unhurt but reported damage to the airport’s control tower and runway. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed the strikes targeted "military infrastructure" of the Houthi rebels. UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the attacks "especially alarming." Houthi officials condemned the strikes as "barbaric," while Iran criticized them as violating international peace. Escalating tensions continue between Yemen and Israel.
