Saudi Arabia strikes oil facility in Yemen capital Sanaa as Houthis up threats

Saudi-led coalition airstrikes hit a fuel depot and oil facility in the rebel-held Yemeni capital of Sanaa, resulting in a major fire on the outskirts of the city. The military action took place amid escalating threats from the Houthi movement, an Iran-backed group controlling the capital.

In retaliation for the Sanaa strikes, the Houthis warned Saudi Arabia of impending attacks against Saudi cities, specifically naming Riyadh and Dammam. The group called for the evacuation of Riyadh airport and Aramco oil facilities, and reports noted subsequent explosions within Saudi Arabia following the Yemeni capital attack.
