Yemeni forces establish curfew in Aden

Yemeni government forces imposed a nighttime curfew in Aden, the temporary capital, starting at 9 pm local time to enhance security, following their control of Aden International Airport from Southern Transitional Council (STC) forces. This move came after STC leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi was sacked for alleged treason amid escalating tensions, as the STC seeks a referendum on southern Yemen’s future. The situation escalated with accusations against the UAE for inciting military operations against Saudi Arabia. Yemen’s authorities continue to reject claims of marginalization and emphasize national unity.
