In the Khanfar District of Abyan, authorities intervened to restore operations at the Habil Barq Batis gas station after citizen gatherings had previously prevented staff from working. Local officials, including Director General Mazen Balail Al-Yousifi, provided security forces to ensure gas distribution could resume according to schedule.

As the situation progressed, service challenges expanded across multiple regions. In Hadramaut, leaders met to address an urgent domestic gas crisis and coordinate a fair supply for citizens. Simultaneously, in Abyan, technical teams from Aden began surveying the electricity sector in the Mudiyah district to assess the maintenance needs of power stations and distribution networks.
