Saudi-Led Coalition Struck Oil Facilities West of Yemen’s Capital, Houthi-Backed Broadcaster Says
The coalition said it intercepted three drones north of Riyadh as Houthi media reported strikes near Sanaa and renewed threats against Saudi oil sites.
- On Tuesday, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes hit the Yemen Petroleum Company facility in Al-Sabahah, west of Sanaa. Houthi-affiliated spokesperson Yehya Saree warned of a "harsh and painful" retaliation against Saudi infrastructure.
- Tensions surged last month after rebels seized key areas along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a critical waterway for Gulf oil transport. The Saudi-led coalition has been attempting to retake these positions.
- Saree identified potential targets including Aramco headquarters in Dammam and King Khalid Airport in Riyadh. The coalition's evacuation order prompted the rebels to threaten attacks on Saudi facilities.
- Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty called for diplomacy in a Tuesday phone call with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, warning against "further escalation and instability." Trump stated the Houthis were "misbehaving very badly."
- Separately, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted three drones north of Riyadh on Tuesday. The United States continues providing intelligence sharing and planning support for the offensive, though avoiding direct strikes.
