According to the latest reports on the movements of Southern Transitional Council (STC) fighters in Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra provinces in eastern Yemen, political authority in these regions remains formally under the governors of the ousted government, yet southern forces are seizing key sites including airports and border crossings.

Yemeni officials, responding to a request from Oman, have released 10 crew members of the Eternity C vessel. Following their release, the Filipino crew were flown from Sanaa Airport to Muscat aboard an Omani aircraft.

After a period of tension and power struggles between Southern Transitional Council (STC) fighters, Hadhramaut tribes, and Islah Party elements, the southerners—backed by the UAE—launched an operation yesterday under the name “Promising Future” to seize northern areas of Hadhramaut province. They marched toward Seiyun and swiftly took control of all military bases in Wadi Hadhramaut and key sites including Seiyun, the provincial capital, with minimal resistance.

In a recent meeting of the international coalition—comprising the European Union, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—chaired by Abdu Sharif, the British ambassador to Yemen, the establishment of the Yemen Maritime Security Partnership (YMSP) was announced.

In response to a request for support from Hadhramaut tribes during a recent meeting in the Al-Aleeb area, Saudi Arabia dispatched a large convoy of Al-Dara’ Al-Watan forces, consisting of 200 military vehicles, to the city of Seiyun in northern Hadhramaut province.

A U.S. drone strike on a motorcycle in the outskirts of Marib resulted in the deaths of two al-Qaeda members.

Following a tribal council meeting in the Al-Aleeb area of the Hadhramaut plateau, the Hadhramaut Tribal Council issued a statement placing the Hadhramaut Protection Forces on high alert and granting them full authority to take immediate and preemptive action against any external forces entering the province.

Opposition media to the Ansar Allah movement claim that Abdul Karim Amir al-Din Hussein al-Houthi, the Interior Minister of the Sana’a government and uncle of the Ansar Allah leader, was injured in Israeli strikes on Sana’a and remains under treatment in hospital. Reports suggest his health condition is critical.

Local media in Shabwah province report that the United Arab Emirates has delivered around 400 Toyota Land Cruiser 2025 vehicles to the Shabwah Defense Forces.

The vehicle carrying Nabil Shamsan, governor of Taiz in the Saudi-backed government, along with Abu Bakr al-Jubouli, commander of the al-Tur al-Bahah axis, was attacked by unidentified gunmen in the Najd al-Bard area, south of Taiz province.

According to local sources in Shabwah province, a U.S. MQ-9 drone carried out two airstrikes targeting the location of an al-Qaeda member in Wadi Khura, situated in the district of Markhah al-Sufla in southwestern Shabwah.

As reported in Israeli media, following the failure of airstrikes targeting Yemen’s energy and service infrastructure, Israeli intelligence agencies have shifted their focus toward recruiting informants and gathering field intelligence to disrupt Yemen’s military support for Palestine.
