The Yemeni Coalition to Restore Legitimacy issued an evacuation warning for civilians near Sanaa ahead of a military operation. The coalition’s joint forces command directed people to leave the Yemen Petroleum Company’s Al-Sabahah central fuel station. The order came as part of a targeted operation.
The coalition spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki, confirmed three drones were destroyed north of Riyadh. The drones were identified as part of a Houthi-linked network. The attack occurred amid ongoing tensions between Yemen’s government and the Houthis.
The Yemeni government has called for severe punishment for spies linked to the Houthis. Officials warned that attacks on the capital will face a harsh response in Riyadh and Dammam. The Houthis have previously targeted Saudi Arabian infrastructure.
The evacuation order highlights the coalition’s efforts to protect civilians during military actions. The Al-Sabahah fuel station is a key infrastructure site. The operation follows a series of drone attacks attributed to the Houthis.
The conflict in Yemen has seen repeated clashes between government forces and the Houthis. The recent drone strikes near Riyadh mark a new escalation. The coalition continues to push for stability in the region.
