Local impact

Internet services were reportedly cut off completely in the Hadhramaut Valley, east of the country, on the night of 15 October, hours before the exchange of prisoners and detainees between the government and Houthi militia was due to take place in Seiyun, a city in central Hadhramaut. The government did not provide an explanation for the shutdown.
