Al-Qatan, the last major stronghold of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council in the central Hadhramaut region, has fallen to the Saudi-backed Homeland Shield Forces (HSF). This development marks a significant shift in control within the area.
With the capture of Al-Qatan, only the resource-rich regions of Wadi Dawan and Ghayl Bin Yemen now remain between the HSF and the coast. The situation in Hadhramaut continues to evolve as the HSF consolidates its position in the region.
