A Saudi-led coalition launched airstrikes on an oil facility in Al-Sabaha, near Yemen’s Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa, on October 13, 2026. The attack followed an evacuation warning urging civilians to leave the area. Videos circulating online showed thick black smoke rising from the facility after explosions. The coalition accused the Houthis of using oil installations and underground fuel depots to support military operations. Houthi officials warned of retaliation against strategic Saudi targets, including Riyadh’s airport and Aramco facilities. The strikes mark a further escalation in regional tensions, raising concerns about civilian safety and energy supplies.
