Yemeni authorities said on Tuesday that senior Daesh terrorist organisation figure Abu Hudhayfah al-Ansari had been killed in a joint operation with the Saudi-led coalition, according to the government-run Saba television.
A statement by Yemen’s Central State Security Service reported Ansari’s death, without specifying the location of the operation or providing further details.
The statement said special forces from the Saudi-led coalition carried out the operation with support from the 22nd Brigade of Yemen’s counterterrorism forces.

The statement did not specify Ansari’s exact leadership role, though he has been known as Daesh terror group’s spokesperson since 2023.
