Yemen’s internationally recognized government said on Saturday its forces had regained full control of the oil-rich southeastern province of Hadramout after a Saudi-backed military operation forced out fighters loyal to the Southern Transitional Council (STC).
Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), said he had ordered security forces to secure state institutions and protect public and private property after government troops retook all military and security sites in the province, according to the state-run news agency Saba.
