Saudi-led coalition strikes Sanaa fuel facility
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis struck targets in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Tuesday, Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah said.
Locals reported hearing strong explosions in the city hours after a coalition spokesperson urged people to leave the all-Suhaba fuel facility, which belongs to the Yemeni Oil Company, and a nearby site ahead of a strike.
According to a coalition spokesperson, the Houthis were using the facility for storing missiles and drones. The facility is located on a hill overlooking Sanaa.
The company said the storage facilities at the site were empty, with a strike not affecting oil reserves or supplies to residents.
