Recommendations:
- Continue to avoid travel to Yemen at the current juncture, especially to Houthi-controlled territories and frontline areas amid elevated security risks due to the ongoing armed conflict.
- In PCC-controlled areas, avoid all travel to airports, energy facilities, and ports in light of escalated tensions and the potential for Houthi attacks against these assets.
- Those operating within Yemen are advised to avoid all travel to governorates with active frontlines between the Houthis and anti-Houthi forces, including Marib, al-Jawf, Bayda, Ibb, Dali, Taiz, and Hodeidah governorates, due to the persistent risk of armed conflict.
