Saudi-Led Coalition Strikes Yemen Oil Sites as Houthis Target Saudi Aramco and Riyadh

Saudi-Led Coalition Strikes Yemen Oil Sites as Houthis Target Saudi Aramco and RiyadhPreviousNext

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. In response, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis threatened retaliation against Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure, including Saudi Aramco facilities and Riyadh's airport. A missile strike hit an administrative building at Saudi Aramco's headquarters in Dhahran, causing a limited fire but no casualties. Saudi Arabia intercepted several Houthi missiles targeting Riyadh and other regions amid escalating hostilities.
