Saudi-led coalition aircraft struck a fuel storage facility near Sanaa on Tuesday, officials said, and reports later indicated that missiles were intercepted in the vicinity of Riyadh.
The facility targeted is located close to Sanaa, which is held by the Houthi movement. The coalition — which intervened in Yemen in 2015 to back the internationally recognised government against the Houthis — said it had carried out the operation as part of continued military efforts in the country.
Following the strike, air defences around Riyadh engaged and intercepted incoming missiles, according to reports. There was no immediate independent confirmation of who launched the projectiles, and no official casualty figures have been released in relation to either the depot strike or the interceptions.
The incidents mark the latest episode in a conflict that has seen recurrent exchanges across the Saudi-Yemen front, including air raids, missile and drone attacks, and blockades that have contributed to a prolonged humanitarian crisis. International calls for de-escalation and renewed diplomacy have periodically followed such escalations, but a durable political settlement has remained elusive.
