🇾🇪❌🇾🇪 — NEW: The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council in southern Yemen has essentially fallen to the Saudi-backed Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council.

➡️ Military convoys of the Saudi-backed Homeland Shield Forces are currently in the Shabwah region and are on their way to take over Aden.

➡️ Aden, Ad Dali, and Lahij are currently controlled by the Giant Brigades, which defected to the PLC earlier today and have begun expelling the STC from military positions across the three regions.
