Overview

  • The Presidential Council announced a 90-day state of emergency that includes a 72-hour air, sea and land blockade.
  • Council chairman Rashad al-Alimi ordered all Emirati forces to leave Yemeni territory within 24 hours in a televised address.
  • The Saudi-led coalition said its aircraft struck two vessels in Mukalla that were unloading weapons and armored vehicles allegedly arriving from the UAE.
  • The coalition and Saudi state media reported no casualties from the Mukalla strikes, a claim that has not been independently confirmed.
  • The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council has taken control of large parts of Hadramaut and areas of al-Mahra, including key oil sites and border zones with Oman, heightening the risk of intra-government fighting and aid disruption.
