What happened
Houthi media reported an attack by Saudi Arabia on the Yemen Oil Company in Sanaa on Tuesday, which came shortly after the Saudi-led coalition ordered the evacuation of the facility ahead of a military operation. The Iran-backed rebels had warned that they would target Riyadh's airport and other sites in the country if Saudi Arabia followed through on its threat.
