Saudi-led coalition attacks south Yemen separatists

On January 7, 2026, the Saudi-led coalition launched attacks on forces loyal to separatist leader Aidarus al-Zubaidi in southern Yemen. The attacks, which included explosions at an arms storage facility, occurred after al-Zubaidi failed to attend peace talks in Riyadh. The Saudi-led coalition is targeting the separatists due to their refusal to participate in the peace process. The conflict highlights the ongoing instability and fragmentation within Yemen.
