The Saudi-led coalition issued an open warning to target and destroy key oil installations in Sana'a as part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's strict strategy to protect national security and sovereignty against escalating Houthi threats.
The Saudi-led coalition ordered civilians to evacuate the Yemeni Oil Company's Al-Sabahah Central Station in Sana'a for their safety ahead of a planned precision operation.
Experts warn that in retaliation, Houthi rebels could launch modern drone and missile attacks directly against Saudi Arabia's sensitive Aramco oil processing plants and refineries, potentially shutting down global crude supplies overnight.
