Battle in the Yemeni Civil War

On 7 January 2026, the Yemeni government forces captured the Southern Transitional Council's de facto capital, Aden, resulting in the STC's reported dissolution and the collapse of the group's forces in the area. The city's capture was the culmination of a government counteroffensive against the STC that had previously captured Hadhramaut and al-Mahrah Governorates amid Saudi airstrikes against STC positions.
