Saudi airstrike on Yemen petrol station kills 12

Observer Online Report

At least 12 people were killed and 10 others injured in a Saudi airstrike on a petrol station in Hazm, the capital of Yemen’s northwestern Jawf province, on Wednesday (October 28), according to Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV.

The broadcaster reported that women and children were among the dead and injured.

Tensions between the Saudi-led military coalition and Houthi rebels escalated again in July, developing into full-scale conflict in September. During the fighting, the Houthis seized the port city of Mokha and other areas of Yemen. The Saudi-led coalition subsequently launched an operation dubbed “Dawn of Yemen” to drive the rebels out of those areas.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered $1 billion to Yemen’s Houthi rebels in exchange for halting attacks on Saudi oil facilities, airports and military bases, with Iran acting as a mediator. However, it remains unclear whether the money has been transferred.

AFP reported the development, citing Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. The newspaper, quoting several Gulf diplomatic sources, said Riyadh had proposed the financial package through Iran to secure a lasting ceasefire.

The proposed package is also intended to address issues such as paying overdue salaries to government employees and rebuilding civilian infrastructure in Houthi-controlled areas, the report said. In return, the Houthis would have to stop attacks on Saudi oil facilities, airports and military installations.
