Coalition Air Strikes in Yemen Described as Limited and Targeted
Recent coalition air strikes in Yemen are being described as limited, targeted operations intended to send a political message rather than trigger a large-scale escalation. Analysts say the objective is to pressure Southern Transitional Council forces to return to Aden and align their actions with recognized governing structures.
At the same time, calls are emerging for adjustments to the composition of the Presidential Leadership Council, with expectations that representatives from Hadramaut may gain greater inclusion to improve internal cohesion within the body.
Observers note that the current approach is viewed as an attempt to influence political dynamics while avoiding broader conflict. The next phase will depend on whether the parties show willingness to engage in dialogue and revisit governance arrangements in the south.
