The war in Yemen has spilled over into Saudi Arabia and continues to drag on. It is no longer confined to the Saudi coalition versus the Houthi alliance but Al Qaeda, target of the drone war, controls almost the entire eastern half of Yemen, including Mukalla, the capital of Hadramout province. Initially, the Saudi coalition included AQAP against the Houthi alliance but some fighters have joined IS/Daesh, (typically) targeting all sides and this complicates a negotiated settlement.
The war has restored the popularity of Saleh, one of the main players in the Houthi alliance, whereas Hadi is resisting talks. His popularity is waning and talks may end his political aspirations. This is posing a serious challenge to the Saudi coalition, explaining their all-out pursuit of victory.

Russia in an invisible war
How
could Russia in just 20 years, without wars or other perturbations,
rise from a semi-colony to an acknowledged world leader, equal among the
top ones?
Kitchen
“strategists”, who sincerely believe that massive nuclear strike is the
universal solution to any international problem (even the hottest one,
close to military confrontation), are unhappy about the moderate
position of the Russian leadership in the crisis with Turkey. However,
they deem insufficient even direct participation of the Russian military
in the Syrian conflict. They are also dissatisfied with the Moscow’s
activities on the Ukrainian front.
