The missile interceptions followed Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on a fuel depot near Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital. The sequence of attacks represents a significant expansion of hostilities involving the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, with potential consequences for civilian safety, air travel, energy infrastructure and broader regional stability. Reporting also indicated explosions and evacuations near Saudi Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran, although officials had not publicly confirmed the cause at the time of reporting.
