"Explosions Heard in Yemen's Capital"... Flames and Smoke Also Spotted at Saudi Aramco Facility

Foreign media reports continue to emerge that loud explosions, presumed to be caused by airstrikes by the Saudi Arabian military, have been observed in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen.

According to AFP and other news agencies on the 3rd local time, at least five explosions occurred across various parts of Sana'a, and two fighter jets were reportedly witnessed launching missiles.

Al Masirah TV, a media outlet operated by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, reported that Saudi Arabia attacked Sana'a.

However, it did not mention specific details regarding the scale of casualties or property damage.

Flames and smoke were also seen billowing from a facility of the state-owned enterprise Saudi Aramco, located south of the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Aramco is the world's largest oil production and export company.

Recently in Yemen, fighting has intensified between government forces backed by Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, with the Houthis continuing attacks targeting oil production facilities such as Saudi Aramco.
