Saudi Arabia hit by multiple explosions after strikes on Yemeni oil facility Cities across Saudi Arabia were rocked by explosions on Tuesday night local time after the kingdom launched strikes on energy facilities in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital controlled by the Houthis. The Saudi-led coalition warned residents to evacuate the area before carrying out the strikes that mark a clear escalation in the spiralling conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The Associated Press reported witness testimonies of several explosions across Sanaa after the al-Sabaha central station fuel facility had been targeted in the strikes.

Explosions and blasts were also reported in Riyadh, Dammam and Dhahran on Tuesday night, as the Houthis appeared to pummel Saudi Arabia with missiles and drones.
