🇾🇪⚡- A large convoy of the Homeland Shield Forces, HSF, departed from the city of al-Abr, Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, PLC, controlled territory, in the direction of the Ma'rib region. Meanwhile, just north of the Ma'rib region, tribal forces on both sides of the line of contact—both pro-Ansarullah and pro-PLC—have been mobilising in the al-Rayyan District of the al-Jawf region (shown on the map) over the past month.

Note, the HSF is widely regarded as one of the PLC's primary military formations and maintains close ties to Saudi Arabia. Al-Abr serves as Saudi Arabia's principal logistical hub in eastern Yemen and is effectively overseen by Saudi military personnel. A Saudi military base, the 37th Brigade Base, is also located on the outskirts of the city.

The size of the convoy and its departure from al-Abr strongly suggests Saudi involvement, including the presence of Saudi military personnel, which are either accompanying the convoy or coordinating its movement.

🇺🇸🇸🇦⚡- The Saudi Defense Minister and Deputy Commander of U.S. CENTCOM have met twice in just the past 24 hours.
