According to the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, an evacuation warning was issued Tuesday for civilians at the Yemen Petroleum Company’s Al‑Sabaha Central Station in Sanaa ahead of a planned military operation.

Spokesman’s Statement and Map

Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki Al‑Maliki said civilians should evacuate the facility for their safety and that a map had been released showing the warned area.

He added that the warning followed an earlier statement in which he indicated the coalition would shortly issue an evacuation notice for a Sanaa site in preparation for a targeted military operation.

Al‑Maliki also announced that coalition air defences had intercepted and destroyed three drones north of Riyadh.

Context of Rising Tensions
