Air strikes hit gas station and oil facility in Sanaa, Yemen

Reports are emerging from Yemen of overnight strikes targeting a gas station and an oil facility in the capital city of Sanaa. The attacks have resulted in at least one fatality and nine injuries according to local residents and Houthi rebels.

The strikes were reportedly carried out against a gas station in a district of Sanaa, with Houthi-run health ministry spokesperson Anees al-Asbahi stating that one person was killed and three others were wounded. Another airstrike targeted an oil company, leaving at least six people injured.

The extensive damage caused by the strikes has also affected nearby homes and shops, causing widespread panic among residents. Al-Asbahi has blamed Saudi Arabia for both attacks, although The Associated Press could not independently verify these claims.

The strikes come amid a renewed escalation of fighting between Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen. The conflict has been ongoing since this summer, with the Houthis targeting Saudi energy facilities and airports as part of their campaign to pressure Saudi Arabia into lifting its blockade on Yemen.

Tensions in the region remain high as the situation continues to unfold, with the international community closely monitoring developments in Yemen. Further details are expected in the coming hours as more information becomes available.

The overnight strikes in Yemen have left at least one person dead and nine wounded, according to reports from Sanaa residents who witnessed the explosions targeting an oil facility near residential areas.

One resident described the blasts as shattering windows and causing widespread reverberations across the city while people slept, underscoring the devastating impact of the attacks on civilians.

In a separate development, Saudi-led coalition spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki claimed that a drone was intercepted and destroyed in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia early on Tuesday morning, although this claim could not be independently verified by The Associated Press.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has displayed what it describes as an underground "missile city" and new surface-to-surface missiles, showcasing its military capabilities in a state TV broadcast featuring heavily edited footage.

Iran has removed restrictions on its missile capabilities, according to General Hossein Mohebbi, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard. This move reverses previous claims by Iran that its missiles had a limited range of 2,000 kilometers.

In a recent meeting with military leaders, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei emphasized the need for an immediate and decisive response to any perceived threats from the US or Israel, regardless of geographical boundaries. According to IRNA news agency reports, Khamenei stated that any threat should be met with an effective answer.

Iran's Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, has claimed on social media that the war had already taken a significant toll on the US government. He urged the US to surrender to Iran's proposed seven conditions for ending the conflict, implying that it was time for Washington to acknowledge defeat.

The US president's comments on the Iran conflict suggest a shift in strategy from military action to maintaining the current stalemate.

Trump's assertion that the war is militarily over implies that Washington has reached a point where it sees no advantage in continuing airstrikes against Iran. This stance comes after earlier meetings with Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.

Iran continues to insist on several key concessions from the US before resuming diplomatic talks, including the lifting of economic sanctions and the blockade on its ports, as well as compensation for war damage and an end to regional hostilities.

The status quo will likely remain in place until Iran's demands are met, with both sides seemingly at an impasse in negotiations.
