Yemen: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Yemen from space — geolocated events, the most active areas, and satellite imagery in one place. Free to browse on the Delta Watchfloor.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
You can monitor Yemen from space on Off-Nadir Delta — viewing Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, tracking any area over time with anomaly detection, and overlaying geolocated event signals (from global news media) and active fires. In the past 7 days, 144 event signals were recorded in and around Yemen, most in the armed conflict category.

Most active areas
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. Figures cover the mapped region around Yemen and update hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.
Why Analysts Watch Yemen From Space
Yemen sits on the Bab el-Mandeb strait, one of the world’s critical shipping chokepoints, and attacks on Red Sea shipping have made the surrounding waters a permanent satellite watch area. Onshore, port operations at Hodeidah and humanitarian conditions dominate.
Typical monitoring angles
- Ship routing and density through the Bab el-Mandeb and southern Red Sea
- Port operations at Hodeidah and Aden with SAR ship detection
- Flash-flood impact on wadi settlements after seasonal storms
Monitor Yemen From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Yemen without any GIS software. View Sentinel-1 SAR (all-weather, day or night) and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, draw any area to build a time series with anomaly detection, and overlay active fires.
The Delta Watchfloor adds the event layer: geolocated signals in and around Yemen, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
