Pro-government forces, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, have moved into Aden, securing key districts and the presidential palace following an assassination attempt. Security operations have intensified with new checkpoints, while the coalition vowed a strong response to threats. Concurrently, the coalition conducted airstrikes in southern Yemen after Southern Transitional Council (STC) leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi skipped talks. In response to what it termed a mutiny, the Yemeni Presidential Council dismissed several military officials, and government forces retook areas from the STC, displaying confiscated explosives. Reports indicate the government, having regained momentum, is now preparing for a potential new military campaign against the Houthi rebels in the north.
A U.S. aircraft carrier, the Roosevelt, has entered the Red Sea, prompting a warning from Ansarullah, which also revealed a new 'Red Sea Missile' system.

Saudi-backed pro-government forces have moved into the southern Yemeni city of Aden and taken control of key districts. This follows an assassination attempt that killed four people, including an official from the Giants Brigades, a military unit. Security operations are underway, with officials promising to pursue those involved in the attack. The security changes include the removal of military camps and the reopening of the city's airport.
The Saudi-led military coalition carried out airstrikes in southern Yemen. This came after a key separatist leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), did not attend planned reconciliation talks. Yemen's internationally recognized government, led by the Presidential Council, said it had retaken areas from the STC forces. The government also dismissed several military and security officials over what it called an STC mutiny.
Reports indicate the Yemeni government has regained momentum and is now setting its sights on launching an attack against the Houthi rebels, who control the northern part of the country. This suggests a potential escalation in the long-running civil war, with the government preparing for a new military offensive.
