[Yemen] Explosions/Remote violence: Air/drone strike

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. US forces reportedly conducted three strikes on Houthi weapons caches at Dalaimi Air Base in Sanaa near Sanaa International Airport on March 31, 2025. Casualty figures remain unknown, and no major news outlets have yet corroborated this medium-severity incident.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed, strikes near Sanaa International Airport could temporarily disrupt civilian aviation operations in northern Yemen, though commercial traffic through the facility has been severely limited since the conflict began.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation from major news sources or official US military statements
• Track any Houthi retaliation against commercial shipping in the Red Sea corridor
• Watch for potential disruption to humanitarian aid flights using Sanaa International Airport
