UAE to Withdraw from Yemen Following Saudi Strike

The UAE announced the withdrawal of its remaining forces from Yemen after Saudi Arabia demanded their departure within 24 hours. This followed a Saudi-led airstrike on a shipment in Mukalla, which Saudi officials claimed posed a threat to stability, a claim the UAE denied. Tensions have escalated between Saudi Arabia and the UAE due to accusations of the UAE pressuring separatists to confront Saudi-backed forces. The Yemeni presidential council declared a state of emergency and canceled its defense pact with the UAE, insisting on unity and stability for Yemen.
