Saudi-led forces say they struck a fuel depot near Sanaa after warning civilians to leave, while the Houthis vowed retaliation against targets in Riyadh and Dammam.
01Summary
- 01Maj Gen Turki al-Maliki said the coalition hit the al-Sabaha fuel facility near the Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa.
- 02The coalition accused the Houthis of using the Yemen Petroleum Company site to support missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia.
- 03The Houthis said they would retaliate by targeting Riyadh airport, an Aramco refinery in Riyadh and Aramco headquarters in Dammam.
- 04Thirteen people were killed in a missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, and another person was killed the next day.
- 05The UN says more than 216,000 people have been displaced in Yemen and suspected cholera cases have risen from 217 to 647 in three weeks.
02Why it matters
The strike and threatened retaliation raise the risk of further cross-border attacks between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. That could affect civilians in both countries, as well as fuel supplies and shipping routes in the wider region.
