What is happening in Yemen today is an actual war being fought across multiple fronts, on land, at sea, and in the air, yet it remains an undeclared war among the parties to the conflict.

In recent months, Yemen’s army has emerged as an increasingly visible force in drone warfare, with authorities releasing footage of unmanned aircraft striking Houthi positions, gatherings, and vehicles across several fronts.

The Yemen crisis has become a regional confrontation, with the Houthis leveraging Yemen’s strategic position while Saudi Arabia and international actors seek to prevent wider escalation.

In a move aimed at reshuffling the executive branch and offering a glimmer of hope to a crisis-weary public, PLC Chairman Rashad al-Alimi issued Republican Decree No. 3 of 2026, forming a new government headed by Shaea al-Zandani, who will also retain the foreign affairs portfolio.

Amid escalating unrest in Yemen's southern cities, Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s internationally recognized PLC, called for a conference in Riyadh to defuse the crisis, inviting all southern forces, including the UAE-backed separatist STC militia.
