YEMEN: Coalition warplanes hit fuel storage in the capital hours before missiles flew toward Riyadh. 👇
Saudi air defenses intercepted the inbound missiles before they reached the capital.
The fuel depot strike cuts supply lines for Houthi forces who have escalated cross-border attacks in recent weeks.
Each strike invites retaliation, and neither side has shown interest in backing down.
Would you live in a city expecting retaliatory strikes overhead?
◆ Why it matters
The Houthis answered a fuel depot strike with missiles aimed at the Saudi capital, a pattern that has defined this war for years. Riyadh can intercept most incoming fire, but every launch proves the Houthis retain the range and will to hit back. The cycle grinds on because neither side believes it can afford to stop first.
