The Saudi-led coalition issued orders for Yemeni civilians to flee the area surrounding a key Sanaa oil site

Saudi warplanes targeted the Yemen Petroleum Company facility in the Al-Sabaha area west of Sanaa, according to Al-Masirah. Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree cited a source at the company confirming that its Al-Sabaha station was empty of petroleum products and that the targeted facility has no military significance.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) released a statement on the afternoon of 13 October urging Saudi citizens to “evacuate” areas near Aramco’s headquarters in Dammam, King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, and Aramco’s Riyadh refinery.

“The YAF call on all citizens to evacuate immediately and stay away from the targets that our armed forces will strike if the Saudi enemy proceeds with its announced plan to target the following sites in the capital, Sanaa,” the YAF said.

The statement comes in response to a Saudi evacuation order targeting civilians near the Yemen Oil Company site at Al-Sabaha Central Station in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital.

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen released a map showing the targeted area.
