Saudi-led coalition airstrikes killed at least 20 fighters from Yemen's Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Hadramout province. The strikes targeted military bases and the airport in Seiyun, disrupting operations. This escalation follows the STC's takeover of areas in Hadramout and Mahra, and comes after the UAE announced its forces' withdrawal from Yemen. The coalition stated the operation was peaceful, while the STC confirmed the fatalities.
