The armed group deployment forces in Aden, the interim capital, and announced emergency rules in the governorates of the south under their control.
"The statement of the STC is a coup against the legitimate government and a sabotage of the Riyadh Agreement of November 2019," said the local authority of Socotra archipelago.
"Militias cannot be a replacement for the state," read a statement issued by the governmental Security Committee of Shabwa."No one has the right to declare emergencies but the legitimate President only," it said.
