Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on 13 October 2026 that if Saudi forces strike the announced oil-company site in Sana'a, Yemeni forces would target Aramco headquarters in Dammam, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and the Aramco refinery in Riyadh, and he urged civilians near those sites and other Aramco facilities to evacuate. The warning followed the Saudi-led coalition's evacuation notice for the al-Sabaha station in Sana'a.
