Saudi Arabia-led coalition forces launched strikes in Yemen's southern Dali governorate targeting separatist fighters after the Southern Transitional Council leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, failed to board a plane scheduled to fly him to Riyadh and subsequently fled to an unknown destination. The coalition described the strikes as responses to the separatists' actions. Yemen's internationally recognised government requested Riyadh to host a forum to address southern grievances, portraying the proposal as a potential step toward reducing hostilities. Casualty figures and operational details were not provided. The situation remains fluid with further developments expected.
