Wikidata classes on our event-class list: battle (all its classes: Wikidata item)
On 7 January 2026, the Yemeni government (Presidential Leadership Council, PLC) forces captured the Southern Transitional Council's de facto capital, Aden, resulting in the STC's reported dissolution and the collapse of the group's forces in the area. The city's capture was the culmination of a government counteroffensive against the STC that had previously captured Hadhramaut and al-Mahrah Governorates amid Saudi airstrikes against STC positions. Following Aden's capture, the secretary-general of the STC announced its dissolution and its leader Aidarus al-Zoubaidi fled to the United Arab Emirates.
