SANAA, Oct 13: Houthi media reported that Saudi Arabia struck an oil facility near Sanaa on Tuesday, after the Saudi-led coalition ordered civilians to evacuate the site.
An AFP correspondent in Sanaa reported hearing an explosion, while a breaking news alert on the Houthis' Al-Masirah TV said "Saudi aggression targets the oil company in Al-Sabaha, west of Sanaa".
The Saudi-led coalition had earlier warned civilians to evacuate the Al-Sabaha station near the Houthi-held capital, which belongs to the Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC), following a spate of deadly Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia, particularly on Riyadh airport.
Following the warning, AFP's correspondent reported that many civilians rushed to queue at fuel stations in Sanaa, fearing shortages.�" AFP
