Coalition claims missile tunnel strikes as Houthis target Saudi oil facilities

Update: Houthis claim military targets after earlier Aden camp account
Mehr quoted Yahya Saree as saying the group targeted troop concentrations and arms depots in Salah al-Din in Aden and Al-Waht in Lahj, claiming dozens killed or wounded. Anadolu separately reported the Information Ministry’s accusation of an attack on a displacement camp west of Aden, and local sources’ account of a missile landing near a military camp without casualties. Accounts differ over the nature of the targets, and it is unclear whether they all describe the same strikes. The new element is the detailed Houthi account; the camp allegation was reported earlier and casualty claims remain unconfirmed.

Coalition says it destroyed 5 tunnels, 4 launchers and a missile depot
Coalition spokesman Turki Al-Maliki said an operation destroyed 5 ballistic missile storage tunnels, 4 launchers and a missile depot. He said it also targeted supply routes, fortifications and fighter concentrations along Yemen’s front lines. These are claims by a party to the conflict, with no independent evidence of the results. The details are new and distinct from the previously reported announcement of two launchers destroyed in Sanaa.

Houthis claim attacks on oil stations and Riyadh airport; coalition reports interception
Anadolu quoted Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree as announcing a ballistic missile attack on King Khalid airport and drone attacks on East-West Pipeline pumping stations. The coalition said it intercepted a missile heading towards Riyadh; there was no Saudi confirmation of hits on oil stations. The new element is the pumping-station claim; the Riyadh interception and destruction of two Sanaa launchers were reported in earlier windows. There is no independent evidence of hits or the extent of damage.

Single-source report says 30 displaced families reached Hadramout
Asharq published a video report on a new camp in Yalkha, in the Burum Mayfa district, saying it received 30 families comprising 210 people, including 54 children. It links the displacement to escalating fighting on the western coast. The upload date falls within the window, but the families’ arrival dates were not specified, and no official statement or second independent source was found to confirm the figures. They are therefore not a confirmed displacement tally for this hour.
