Saudi-led coalition strikes Houthi oil sites after Riyadh airport attacks
The Saudi-led coalition bombed the Al-Sabaha oil station near Sanaa after warning civilians to evacuate, responding to a spate of deadly Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia, including on Riyadh airport. This marks an escalation in tit-for-tat strikes, with the coalition targeting economic infrastructure in Houthi-held territory. The strikes risk further regional instability and oil supply concerns, though the immediate market impact is limited.
