Houthis threaten Saudi Arabia’s Aramco facilities and airports

Explosions in Sanaa reported shortly after Saudi-led coalition’s evacuation order as Houthis promise ‘harsh’ response.

Saudi Arabia vows resilience as Houthi strikes hit Riyadh airport

Yemen’s Houthis have warned all employees and civilians near Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities to evacuate, calling the sites “a legitimate target”.

The warning on Tuesday from the group’s spokesman, Yahya Saree, was prompted by an evacuation order from the Saudi-led coalition urging civilians to evacuate Yemeni Oil Company’s al-Sabah central station in the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa.

Shortly after the Saudi-led coalition’s evacuation order, Al Jazeera’s team on the ground reported hearing explosions in Sanaa. Media outlets affiliated with the Houthis said air strikes by the Saudi-backed forces struck an oil facility in the al-Sabaha area of the capital.

“We heard the explosion upon Saudi Arabia targeting the Yemeni oil al-Sabah Central Station here in the capital Sanaa,” Al Jazeera correspondent Yousef Mawry said.

Saudi Arabia also conducted two other air strike campaigns on the Ras Isa port targeting Yemeni oil storage tanks and on an oil station in the Houthi-controlled Hodeidah province, according to Mawry.

Following the reported explosions, Saree said Houthi fighters were confronting Saudi-backed forces in Sanaa.

Saree responded to the coalition’s evacuation order, warning that any strikes on Sanaa would be met with a “harsh and painful” response in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh.

In a statement on X, Saree said the Houthis would target the sites that were ordered to be evacuated if the Saudi-led coalition proceeded with an attack on Sanaa.

Civilians were told to evacuate the Aramco Company headquarters in Dammam, King Khalid International Airport and a refinery affiliated with Aramco in Riyadh.

“The Ansar Allah Houthi group have not yet launched any attacks, but people are expecting there to be retaliations,” Mawry said.

An attack on King Khalid airport on Saturday left at least 13 people dead and more than 300 injured, rocking the world’s top crude oil exporter. Another person was killed, and 11 were wounded on Sunday after a projectile struck the airport in Riyadh.

Many international airlines have since suspended flights to Saudi ⁠⁠Arabia and ⁠⁠neighbouring countries following the deadly weekend attacks by the Houthis, including Air France-KLM, Air India, Etihad, Lufthansa, Delta, Gulf Air and Qatar Airways.

The kingdom, which backs Yemen’s internationally recognised government, was still weathering new attacks on Tuesday, with the coalition saying its forces intercepted three drones north of Riyadh.

Saree also reiterated the Houthis’ warning to airports in Saudi Arabia following recent attacks on multiple airports and oil facilities across the country since last week in a spillover from the wider regional conflict between the US and Iran.

Saudi Arabia has in recent ⁠⁠weeks launched strikes against the Houthis and is backing a Yemeni government counteroffensive known as the “Dawn of Yemen” after the group seized strategic territory along the Red Sea coast ‌‌last month.

Saudi Arabia’s cabinet, chaired ⁠by Crown Prince ⁠Mohammed bin Salman, said on Tuesday the Houthis would face “consequences” for their attacks across the kingdom, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

沙特领导的联军下达撤离令后不久，萨那就传出爆炸消息，胡塞武装承诺将予以“严厉”回应。

沙特阿拉伯誓言坚守阵地，应对胡塞武装对利雅得机场的袭击。

也门胡塞武装警告沙特阿拉伯石油设施附近的所有雇员和平民撤离，称这些设施是“合法目标”。

该组织发言人叶海亚·萨里周二发出警告，起因是沙特领导的联军下令疏散平民，敦促他们撤离胡塞武装控制的首都萨那的也门石油公司萨巴赫中央加油站。

也门四大家庭寻找失踪亲人的努力因新的冲突而受阻，以下列出其中一例。

也门政府对胡塞武装阵地发动空袭（共4条，此为第4条）

在沙特领导的联军下达撤离命令后不久，半岛电视台的地面报道团队称在萨那听到了爆炸声。与胡塞武装有关联的媒体称，沙特支持的部队对首都萨巴哈地区的一处石油设施发动了空袭。

“我们听到了沙特阿拉伯袭击也门首都萨那的萨巴赫中央石油站时发生的爆炸声，”半岛电视台记者优素福·马乌里说。

据马乌里称，沙特阿拉伯还对拉斯伊萨港和胡塞武装控制的荷台达省的一个石油站进行了两次空袭，分别以也门石油储罐和石油站为目标。

据报道发生爆炸后，萨里表示，胡塞武装分子正在萨那与沙特支持的部队交战。

萨里回应了联军的撤离命令，警告说，任何对萨那的袭击都将在沙特阿拉伯首都利雅得遭到“严厉而痛苦的”回应。

萨里在 X 上发表声明称，如果沙特领导的联军继续对萨那发动攻击，胡塞武装将以被命令撤离的地点为目标。

平民被告知撤离位于达曼的沙特阿美公司总部、哈立德国王国际机场以及位于利雅得的一家隶属于沙特阿美公司的炼油厂。

“安萨尔真主胡塞武装尚未发动任何袭击，但人们预计会有报复行动，”莫里说。

周六，沙特阿拉伯哈立德国王国际机场遭到袭击，造成至少13人死亡，300多人受伤，震惊了世界最大的原油出口国。周日，利雅得机场再次遭到袭击，造成一人死亡，11人受伤。

在胡塞武装周末发动致命袭击后，许多国际航空公司暂停了飞往沙特阿拉伯及其邻国的航班，其中包括法航-荷航集团、印度航空、阿提哈德航空、汉莎航空、达美航空、海湾航空和卡塔尔航空。

支持也门国际公认政府的沙特王国周二仍在遭受新的袭击，联军称其部队在利雅得北部拦截了三架无人机。

萨里还重申了胡塞武装此前对沙特阿拉伯机场的警告。此前，自上周以来，沙特阿拉伯境内多处机场和石油设施遭到袭击，这是美国和伊朗之间更广泛的地区冲突的溢出效应。

最近几周，沙特阿拉伯对胡塞武装发动了空袭，并支持也门政府发起的名为“也门黎明”的反攻。此前，胡塞武装上个月占领了红海沿岸的战略要地。

据沙特通讯社报道，由王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼主持的沙特阿拉伯内阁周二表示，胡塞武装将因其在沙特境内发动的袭击而面临“后果”。
