The Saudi-led coalition has targeted a fuel depot near Sanaa, claiming the Houthis use it to support military operations against Saudi Arabia. Following the strike, the Houthis warned of retaliation against key Saudi locations, including airports and oil facilities, in response to recent attacks that resulted in civilian casualties.
As the conflict escalates, residents in Sanaa are experiencing fuel shortages, prompting long queues at petrol stations. The situation reflects the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which has been exacerbated by a civil war that began in 2014 and has seen a resurgence of violence in recent months.
Watch for potential Houthi retaliation on Saudi infrastructure, which could escalate tensions further. Fuel shortages in Sanaa may lead to increased civilian unrest. The humanitarian crisis is deepening, and international responses could shift as the conflict evolves.
