Israeli Aggression on Sana’a Oil Company Station Kills, Injures 37 Civilians

At least 37 citizens were killed or injured in the treacherous Israeli attack on the Oil Company station in the capital, Sana’a, according to preliminary reports.

The Ministry of Health and Environment confirmed a preliminary toll of 37 casualties from today’s airstrikes, with two killed and 35 injured, noting that civil defense and rescue teams are working to extinguish fires caused by the attack and search for victims.

The ministry condemned the criminal Israeli aggression targeting civilian and service facilities, holding Israel and its allies fully responsible for the serious consequences of these provocative actions and their impact on regional peace and security.

The Israeli enemy reportedly targeted the Oil Company station with criminal airstrikes, attempting to present a “victory” in the form of massive fires caused by burning petroleum fuel.

The airstrikes on Sana’a came a day after Israeli media reported growing concern over Yemen’s advancing missile capabilities. Israeli outlets cited air force sources saying Yemen may have used a multiple-warhead ballistic missile for the first time, a development that could challenge Israel’s missile defense systems.

Since late 2023, Yemen has intensified operations in response to the Israeli enemy’s war on Gaza, combining a naval blockade of Israel-linked shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with long-range missile and drone strikes deep inside occupied territories. The latest escalation, including hypersonic and suspected multiple-warhead missiles, has amplified pressure on Israel’s security establishment and provoked retaliatory strikes on Yemen.
