> The order targets Yemen Petroleum Company’s Al-Sabaha Central Station as tensions rise with the Iran-aligned Houthi movement.

The Saudi-led coalition ordered civilians to evacuate Yemen Petroleum Company’s Al-Sabaha Central Station in Sanaa on Oct. 13, signaling a possible escalation that could threaten regional security and energy infrastructure.

The facility is in Sanaa, which is controlled by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. The coalition backs Yemen’s internationally recognized government.

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree warned of retaliatory action against Saudi sites, including Saudi Aramco facilities. Any strikes involving oil infrastructure could add pressure to regional energy markets and worsen security risks around Yemen.

The evacuation order follows heightened military activity around Yemen’s capital. The next key developments will be any confirmed coalition operation and the Houthi response.
