From warning to execution… airstrikes target Sanaa

Yemen's capital Sanaa witnessed new airstrikes shortly after the Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy called on civilians to evacuate a Yemeni Oil Company site, in preparation for what it described as a "qualitative operation". Houthi-affiliated media said the strikes targeted the oil company site in the Sabaha area west of the capital, while the Houthi military spokesman said the station was empty of petroleum derivatives at the time it was hit. Reuters reported that the Houthis called on employees and citizens near any Saudi Aramco facility to evacuate. The escalation follows Saudi Arabia's announcement that it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis toward Riyadh, and a vow by Saudi Defense Ministry spokesman Brigadier General Turki al-Malki of a firm response to the attack on King Khalid International Airport.
