The Saudi-led Coalition issued a warning for civilians to evacuate a fuel site in Sanaa ahead of a military operation. The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen called on residents to leave the Yemen Petroleum Company’s Al-Sabahah central fuel station in Sanaa. The evacuation was announced by the coalition’s joint forces command, which provided an illustrative map of the location.
A coalition spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki, confirmed that three drones had been destroyed north of Riyadh. The operation is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt Houthi activities in Yemen. The evacuation order follows recent tensions in the region, with the US President condemning Houthi attacks.
The situation in Yemen has escalated with increased military activity. Saudi Arabia has halted flights at Riyadh airport, reflecting broader regional instability. The Red Cross has called for urgent de-escalation in the Middle East. The evacuation of Sanaa’s fuel site underscores the risks faced by civilians amid ongoing conflict.
