Saudi coalition strikes fuel depot near Yemen's capital
- The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen has carried out a strike on fuel depot near the Houthi-controlled capital, Sanaa, its spokesperson says.
- Maj Gen Turki al-Maliki accused the Houthis of using the Yemen Petroleum Company's al-Sabaha facility to fuel their war effort, including by supporting missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia.
- The coalition earlier warned civilians to evacuate the site ahead of a "special operation", with Houthi media saying the facility had been struck before al-Maliki confirmed the strike.
