Summary

A Saudi-led coalition carried out airstrikes on oil facilities west of Sanaa, Yemen, reportedly including the al-Suhaba (Al Sabaha) fuel station, as the Middle East crisis widened. The coalition had urged civilians to evacuate the area beforehand. Houthi authorities reported two deaths and blamed Saudi Arabia; Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the attack, and AP has not confirmed the reports. Witnesses heard explosions in Sanaa and saw smoke rising from the Yemen Petroleum Company's Al-Sabaha Central Station. The company said its storage facilities were empty and that the strike would not affect fuel supplies. The Houthis threatened a response against Riyadh, and Saudi Arabia reported intercepting Houthi-launched ballistic missiles. Accounts differ on the targets and the scope of the strikes.
