Overview
- Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council said National Shield forces regained all military and security sites in Hadramawt, with AP footage showing troops in control across Mukalla on Sunday.
- Saudi warplanes struck multiple STC positions, including Al‑Khasha and Barshid Brigade camps and sites near Seiyun, with separatists reporting fatalities at Al‑Khasha and further strikes around Mukalla.
- Saudi Arabia called southern factions to a conference in Riyadh to discuss “just solutions,” and the STC said it would participate, calling the offer a genuine opportunity for dialogue.
- The STC announced a two‑year transitional process leading to a referendum on southern statehood, a plan rejected by the internationally recognized government.
- The UAE said it completed the withdrawal of its remaining forces and urged restraint, as Riyadh’s strike on an alleged Emirati weapons shipment to Mukalla remained disputed by Abu Dhabi.
