Saudi-led coalition warplanes struck the Yemen Petroleum Company (Yemeni Oil Company) al-Sabaha central station west of Sana'a on 13 October 2026 after an earlier coalition evacuation warning. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Yemeni forces were confronting Saudi combat formations targeting the capital and, citing a company source, said the facility was empty of petroleum products and had no military significance. Multiple outlets and OSINT accounts published smoke footage from the site. Distinct from the prior evacuation warning (evt_bfbf38c5) and Yahya Saree's conditional Aramco retaliation threat (evt_fddc1f59).
