Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
The United Arab Emirates announced it is withdrawing its remaining forces from Yemen following Saudi Arabia's demand for UAE forces to leave within 24 hours amid escalating tensions between the two Gulf powers. This decision came after a Saudi-led coalition airstrike targeted a shipment linked to UAE-backed southern separatists in Yemen’s port of Mukalla, marking a significant escalation in their dispute. The UAE had already ended its military presence in Yemen in 2019, retaining only counterterrorism units, which it has now decided to withdraw. The rift between Saudi Arabia and the UAE involves divergent interests in Yemen and accusations from Saudi Arabia that the UAE pressured southern separatists to challenge the Yemeni government backed by Riyadh.

Smoke rises in the aftermath of a Saudi-led coalition airstrike, which targeted what it described as foreign military support to UAE-backed southern separatists, in Yemen’s southern port of Mukalla, in this screengrab from a handout video obtained by Reuters on Dec. 30, 2025.

Hours earlier, Saudi-led coalition forces had attacked the southern Yemeni port of Mukalla. The airstrike on what Riyadh said was a UAE-linked weapons shipment was the most significant escalation to date in a widening rift between the two Gulf monarchies. Once the twin pillars of regional security, the Gulf heavyweights have seen their interests diverge on everything from oil quotas to geopolitical influence.
