  "summary": "The Houthi movement claimed that Saudi Arabia struck an oil facility near Sanaa on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. According to Al-Masirah TV, the target was an oil company in Al-Sabaha, west of Sanaa, while Dawn reports the strike hit a Yemen Petroleum Company facility on the city's western outskirts. The Yemen Petroleum Company stated the facility currently holds no petroleum stocks, meaning the strike did not affect oil reserves or supply chains. An AFP correspondent in Sanaa reported hearing an explosion, though the Saudi-led coalition had not confirmed the strike at the time of publication.\n\nThe reported attack followed an evacuation order from the Saudi-led coalition, which instructed civilians to leave the area surrounding the facility. In response to the warning, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree issued threats to target Riyadh’s international airport, a refinery, and an Aramco facility in Dammam or Dhahran. The Korea Times notes these threats come as the Houthis have targeted Saudi airports for a week, including a strike on Riyadh last Saturday that killed 13 people.\n\nFollowing a session chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi Council of Ministers issued a warning that the Houthi militia would be held accountable for attacks against Saudi Arabia's airports, holy cities, and vital infrastructure. Minister of Media Salman Al-Dossary stated that the Cabinet offered condolences to the families of victims of Houthi assaults and praised the military operations conducted by the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen.",
