Saudi-Led Coalition Strikes Yemen Oil Sites Amid Houthis' Threats to Saudi Facilities

Saudi-Led Coalition Strikes Yemen Oil Sites Amid Houthis' Threats to Saudi FacilitiesPreviousNext

The Saudi-led coalition launched airstrikes on oil facilities in Yemen's Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa, after warning civilians to evacuate the area ahead of a planned military operation. The Houthis responded by threatening retaliation against Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure, including Aramco facilities and Riyadh's airport, following recent missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets. Explosions were reported in both Sanaa and Saudi cities, with authorities intercepting several projectiles. The Yemen Petroleum Company stated that fuel supplies remain secure despite the strikes, amid escalating hostilities between the two sides.
