Houthis warn civilians and employees to evacuate Saudi Aramco oil facilities

The Yemeni Armed Forces have warned civilians and employees to evacuate areas near any facilities belonging to Aramco oil. According to Middle East Eye, this warning follows statements from the Saudi-led coalition regarding plans to target an oil company in the Saudi capital, Sanaa.

In a separate development, Major General Turki al-Maliki, a spokesman for the coalition, stated on X that three drones were intercepted and destroyed north of Riyadh city.

The Jerusalem Post reports that Saudi Arabia has conducted airstrikes on the Houthis over the past month in support of Yemeni government forces. Houthi political bureau member Mohammed Al Bukhaiti told AFP that the group would deliver a swift and painful response targeting the US and all its interests in the region if the US becomes involved in aggression against Yemen.

While the US has condemned the attacks and reportedly provides intelligence and targeting support to Saudi Arabia, the level of future US involvement remains uncertain.
