Saudi Airstrikes Hit Sanaa, Yemen Amid Escalating Conflict

Loud explosions were heard in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, on October 3, as Saudi airstrikes targeted various parts of the city.

At least five explosions occurred across different areas of Sanaa, with two fighter jets seen firing missiles towards the city. The Houthi rebels, who operate Al-Masirah TV, reported that Saudi Arabia attacked Sanaa 26 times, causing damage to hospital facilities, including maternity and pediatric wards, and injuring hospital visitors.

In addition to the attacks on Yemen's capital, flames and smoke were seen billowing from a facility belonging to Saudi state-owned oil giant Aramco, located south of Riyadh. The Houthi rebels claimed they 'responded to Saudi provocations,' striking military bases in Khamis Mushait and Taif, as well as sensitive targets like oil facilities across Saudi Arabia.
