Yemen's national airline operated on Monday its first commercial flight in years from the capital Sanaa, raising hopes for renewal of a U.N.-brokered truce in the seven-year-old conflict that has pitted a Saudi-led coalition against the Iran-aligned Houthis and put Middle East security in peril.
Water canons sprayed Sanaa airport's runway as an airplane of the national carrier Yemenia landed against a backdrop of destroyed buildings surrounding the airfield.
