Yemen's Houthis have issued a threat to target Saudi Aramco facilities in retaliation for the coalition's strikes in Sanaa. The group warned civilians and workers to evacuate Aramco sites, calling them legitimate targets. The warning came after the coalition ordered civilians to leave the al-Sabaha central station in Sanaa ahead of an attack.
Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that any strike on Sanaa would result in a harsh and painful response in Riyadh. He specifically named Aramco's headquarters, King Khalid International Airport, and an Aramco refinery in Riyadh as sites to avoid. Following the coalition's order, explosions were reported in Sanaa, with Houthi-affiliated media reporting air strikes on an oil facility in the al-Sabaha area.
The Saudi-led coalition intercepted three drones north of Riyadh and claimed to have intercepted two ballistic missiles launched at Riyadh and Khamis Mushait.
