*Desk note: Monexus framed this as a Yemeni governmental statement breaking with previous anonymous framing, attributing both to Al Alam Arabic as the transmitting outlet and treating the named-target shift as the news. The wire extracts carry the operational content; the structural read on coalition composition and the named-vs-anonymous distinction is Monexus's own.
