The warplanes of the Saudi-led coalition targeted the Yemeni Oil Company in 60th Street, capital Sana’a, and resulted in damages amounting to 500 million riyals.

The director of the oil company’s branch in the capital municipality, Abdullah al-Musaybi, said that the typical station in the 60th Street, which was directly targeted by the Saudi-led coalition beginning of this week, was a strategic storage providing 1 million liters of oil derivatives, covering about 30 percent of the daily requirement in the capital.

He pointed out that the value of the losses suffered by the station was estimated at 500 million riyals according to the first report of the Committee for the Inventory of Damages to the plant, its departments, inventory of the company and the station, which is one of the largest model stations in the Republic.

Musaybi pointed out that the station is a civilian establishment serving vital sectors of society and that international law criminalizes targeting these facilities.

He stressed that the targeting of the facilities and stations of the oil company comes within the plans of the Saudi-led coalition to disrupt the role of the company and its branches in the capital and the provinces, indicating that such actions embody  their true desires of interrupting civilian service and obstruct efforts to reactivate the company’s activity as a vital civil facility.

Moreover, the Director of the branch of the oil company in the capital stressed that the United Nations, Security Council and international organizations are held responsible toward the US-backed coalition bombardment of civil service facilities.

He concluded by affirming that these blatant humanitarian violations will not be forgotten with the passage of time.
