At least 40 people were killed and dozens were injured in an explosion near Sanaa airport, according to local sources.
Initial reports indicated that the incident was caused by the explosion of a Houthi weapons depot in the Sarf area of Bani Hashish District, northeast of the capital, and not by a missile attack as it was believed.
To date, no official statement has been issued by any responsible party clarifying the details of the incident, while rescue teams are still working at the scene to recover bodies and treat the injured.
