Earlier today (Friday, Dec 26, 2025), Saudi warplanes carried out ✈️ airstrikes on military sites linked to the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen's southeastern oil-rich province of Hadramout, according to a local security official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official said several strikes hit positions held by the Elite Hadrami security units aligned with the STC. This move ramps up tensions in a region already grappling with fragmented authority and humanitarian challenges. 🇾🇪
No immediate comments from Saudi authorities or STC representatives have been reported. Hadramout's oil fields make it a strategic prize, and any instability here can ripple through global energy markets—and even impact fuel prices in South and Southeast Asia.
