The Saudi-led coalition launched new strikes on oil facilities in Yemen, targeting infrastructure critical to the Houthi group. The attacks occurred overnight, marking a fresh escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The strikes hit a fuel depot near Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled capital, according to reports. The attack was part of a broader campaign targeting what the coalition describes as "vital assets" of the Houthi movement. A Saudi Aramco building in Dhahran was also hit, though the extent of damage remains unclear.
The coalition claims the strikes are aimed at disrupting Houthi supply lines and weakening their military capabilities. The attacks come amid heightened tensions in the region, with concerns over the impact on regional stability.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition intervened to support the Yemeni government against Houthi rebels. The war has caused a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions facing food shortages and limited access to medical care.
The recent strikes highlight the continued escalation of hostilities, with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilian infrastructure. The situation remains volatile, with no immediate signs of a de-escalation.
