Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis Trade Threats Targeting Oil Facilities
Reported by NYT World News · October 13, 2026
Yemen’s Houthis warned employees and civilians near Saudi oil facilities to leave, describing the sites as legitimate targets, Al Jazeera reported.
The warning followed an evacuation order from the Saudi-led coalition. The Houthis said they would respond harshly.
Al Jazeera’s team reported hearing explosions in Sanaa shortly after the order. Houthi-affiliated media said Saudi-backed forces had struck an oil facility in the al-Sabaha area; the report did not independently confirm that account.
