Yemen's Houthis threaten Saudi Aramco sites after coalition strikes in Sanaa

Yemen's Houthis threaten Saudi Aramco sites after coalition strikes in Sanaa Yemen’s Houthis have threatened to strike Saudi Aramco facilities after the Saudi-led coalition ordered civilians to leave an oil facility in the capital Sanaa ahead of a planned attack. “The Yemeni Armed Forces warn all employees and citizens near any Aramco oil facility to evacuate and stay away from it, as it is a legitimate target for our forces,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree posted on X on Tuesday. The warning came after the coalition told civilians to evacuate the Yemeni Oil Company’s al-Sabaha central station in Sanaa before a military operation. Saree had earlier warned that any strike on Sanaa would be met with a “harsh and painful” response in Riyadh. He named Aramco’s headquarters, King Khalid International Airport and an Aramco-affiliated refinery in Riyadh as sites civilians should leave.
