MILITARY SHORT TODAY – In Saudi Arabia, major fires broke out at several points just as Ansarallah began responding by launching a new series of ballistic and cruise missiles, marking an increase in the #YemenSaudi attack escalation, right after heavy airstrikes on Sana’a on Tuesday. Footage shows the #Aramco headquarters in #Riyadh on fire after massive explosions, with several sources mentioning evacuation orders. One source with direct knowledge said the building was attacked, although it’s still unclear whether it was hit directly or by falling interception debris. But, documents circulating online reportedly show the moment a Yemeni missile hit the Aramco facility. There’s no official confirmation yet from Saudi Aramco on whether the building was hit directly or by debris.
New footage shows a major fire reportedly at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, following reports of a ballistic missile impact by Ansarallah last night. At this time, the exact impact area hasn’t been confirmed yet. Also, footage shows a large fire at Aramco’s headquarters in Dammam, following a strike by a Yemeni ballistic missile the same night. Local reports indicate significant damage at the site. Meanwhile, a massive fire hit a petrochemical plant in Yanbu, a port city on the Red Sea, after a warning from Ansarallah yesterday. Details on damage and casualties in these incidents are still unverified. The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces warned that if the Sana’a oil depot is attacked, they will retaliate, and the attack will reach three main Saudi targets, including: the Aramco Oil Refinery in Riyadh, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and the Aramco Headquarters in Dammam. “If even a single attack is launched against us, Saudi will pay a heavy price,” said Brigadier General Yahya Saree.
From Yemen, a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit the fuel depot at the al-Sabaha Central Station near Sana’a. On-site reports confirmed that the brutal bombing of this civilian target used U.S.-made neutron bombs, amid reports of a request from Saudi Arabia to carry out the operation. (Unverified) Videos coming out of Sana’a are terrifying and devastating, showing fireballs shooting up and thick black smoke billowing over the site. According to local media, Saudi launched a massive airstrike in Sana’a in a dangerous escalation, targeting vital and civilian infrastructure, hitting the oil station and continuing to target the Yemeni people.
