New images from the Sentinel-2 satellite show that the US military's logistics base in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, known as LSA Jenkins, has expanded significantly since September 2026.
Compared to images from September, images from November show more military equipment in place, expanding the troop area and work to create a new equipment storage area.
Several sources in the region indicate that Sana'a authorities from the Ansarullah movement (Houthis) are monitoring activities based on LSA Jenkins. Thus, on March 3, one of the leaders of Ansarullah, Hazam al-Assad, said that "the presence of the Americans in Yanbu does not meet the interests of Saudi Arabia." The base was first spotted on satellite images in 2022.
