Saudi Arabia launched a series of strikes on a strategic oil depot outside Sana’a after warning civilians to evacuate. The report describes it as the biggest attack so far on Houthi energy infrastructure and says the conflict between Riyadh and the Houthis is escalating.
On Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition called on civilians to leave the Yemen Oil Company’s Sabah central station in Sanaa before a planned military operation.

Tens of thousands rallied across France on Tuesday in support of protesting high school students. Unions estimated turnout at 480,000. Anger over school conditions and alleged police violence is driving a growing movement challenging Emmanuel Macron’s government, ahead of cost-of-living demonstrations planned for Saturday.
The French government is hoping the autumn recess will calm an unexpected student movement that began three weeks ago over worsening conditions at a high school near Paris. The protests also voice demands from a generation that feels left behind by spending cuts. France Unbowed, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is the only party to have openly backed the students from the outset.

Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine received no advance intelligence from Western partners before Russia fired five ballistic missiles at Kyiv on October 12. Ukrainian officials said similar failures to relay launch information had happened before, and cautioned against concluding that intelligence-sharing between Kyiv and Washington had stopped.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s partners gave no advance warning of a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv in which five missiles struck civilian infrastructure. He called Monday’s attack “particularly vile” and said intelligence from western allies is vital for warning people and saving lives. Ukraine’s foreign minister said the warning gap stemmed from a “special type” of Russian weapon.
Zelensky said Kyiv is behind other Ukrainian regions in carrying out resilience plans for the heating season, with isolated Shahed strikes still causing widespread power and water outages. He has begun consultations on urgent measures. Mayor Vitali Klitschko rejected claims the city was unprepared and accused central authorities of undermining local self-government.
