The June 13 Corrective Movement (Arabic: حركة 13 يونيو التصحيحية), also known as just the June 13th Movement or 1974 Yemeni coup, was a bloodless military coup in Yemen Arab Republic. The coup marked the end of civilian rule and brought to power a newly created military junta led by the officer Ibrahim al-Hamdi. The new regime began an unprecedented series of social, political, economic and military reforms. However, a series of unwise moves in the reformist program led to the assassination of Hamdi and his successor, Ahmad al-Ghashmi, by external forces that were not in favor of their policies.
