The Saudi-led military coalition fighting Yemen's Shia rebels bombed the airport in the rebel-held capital, Sanaa, on Tuesday, Yemeni officials said, though there were conflicting reports as to the extension of damage caused in the strike. But Yemeni officials in Sanaa, which is held by the rebels known as Houthis, said the airport's runway and a ground navigation tower were damaged. "This will have no impact on our operations once they resume," McGoldrick said in an email from Amman, Jordan. The coalition closed all Yemen air, land and sea ports last week in response to a rebel ballistic missile attack on Riyadh. Yemen had commercial wheat stocks for three months for the entire population of 28 million and about 120 days of rice.
