Sana'a – Yemeni sources reported airstrikes on Sana'a, while Houthi media outlets stated that Saudi airstrikes targeted an oil company site in the Sabaha area, west of the Yemeni capital.
The Houthi military spokesman said that the oil company's station in Sabaha was empty of petroleum products.
The Joint Forces Command of the Coalition had called on civilians to evacuate the Yemeni oil company's site, the "Sabaha Central Station" in Sana'a, for their safety, in preparation for a special operation.
Saudi Defense Ministry spokesman, Major General Turki al-Maliki, said that the evacuation order included the location specified on the map attached to the statement published on his account on the "X" platform.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the Houthis are asking employees and citizens near any facility belonging to Saudi Aramco to evacuate.
On Monday, Saudi Arabia announced that it had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi group towards Riyadh.
Earlier, Al-Maliki vowed a firm response to the Houthi attack that targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
