UN Envoy briefed #SecurityCouncil on #Yemen today. In an interesting departure from the usual, he acknowledges the UN Roadmap must now flex to new realities. He welcomes the US-#Houthi ceasefire & thanks #Oman. But there's still much to worry about: ▪️#Israel-Houthi hostilities

Reports are circulating of a US airstrike in south #Yemen's Abyan region earlier, allegedly killing several leading figures in #alQaeda (#AQAP). Note that there has been an uptick in counter-#terrorism operations in Yemen over the past 2 months.
