# Saudi-led coalition strikes Houthi fuel facilities near Sanaa

Date: 2026

The Saudi-led coalition struck [Houthi](/people/abdul-malik-al-houthi)-held fuel and energy sites in and around Sanaa on 13 October 2026, after warning civilians to leave a fuel facility near the city. Reuters reported Houthi-run media saying the Yemen Petroleum Company site was hit. The coalition said it targeted infrastructure used to sustain Houthi missile and drone operations; that is its stated justification, not an independently verified finding. The strikes followed a week of Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi targets. Cited reports attribute the operation to the coalition and do not establish personal target selection by [Mohammed bin Salman](/people/mohammed-bin-salman), so no personal contribution is assigned.
