An unnamed Yemeni official reported that the strikes targeted positions belonging to "elite forces" of the Southern Transitional Council.
"NEVER SEEN BEFORE"
The official stated that a similar attack had not been seen before, indicating that the strike served as a strong warning to the Southern Transitional Council. The official noted that the attack created pressure for the evacuation of positions in Hadramaut and warned that if the warnings were not heeded, further military intervention could occur. No statement was made regarding any casualties from the airstrike. There has been no official statement from Saudi Arabia regarding the incident.
"WE ARE OPEN TO COOPERATION WITH SAUDI ARABIA"

The statement emphasized their openness to "any coordination or arrangement" that would guarantee security and unity in the south of the country, prevent security threats, and meet both the expectations of the southern population and the mutual interests with Saudi Arabia.
