Yemen Presidential Leadership Council Head Orders Military Operation

This is a formal declaration of intent from Yemen's internationally recognized leadership, not a battlefield development, and the gap between announcing an operation and executing one is where the significance lies. The council's authority has long been contested among its own components, so a unified military push would signal consolidation that has previously proven elusive. Whether the announcement translates into coordinated action, or remains a political signal aimed at internal and external audiences, is the open question to watch.
