Aden, Yemen, December 30 (Xinhua) — Yemeni Presidential Governance Council Chairman Rashad Mohammed al-Alimi on Tuesday declared a 90-day state of emergency across the country, citing the need to ensure national security and public order.

According to an official statement released by state news agency Saba, the decision includes a 72-hour air, sea and land embargo on all ports and border crossings across the country, effective immediately.
