Overview
- The Presidential Council declared a 90-day state of emergency that includes a 72-hour air, sea and land blockade.
- The Saudi-led coalition said it conducted a limited airstrike at Mukalla targeting alleged weapons and vehicles unloaded from two UAE-linked ships, with no casualties reported by Saudi media.
- UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council forces recently seized large parts of Hadramaut and al-Mahra, displacing government-aligned units.
- Saudi Arabia called Emirati steps "extremely dangerous" and endorsed Yemen's demand that Emirati forces leave within 24 hours.
- The UAE later announced it would withdraw its remaining troops, as four UAE-aligned members of the eight-member council said Rashad al-Alimi acted unilaterally and that such decrees lack validity.
