Saudi coalition to address Yemen separatists in de-escalation efforts.

Saudi Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman urged Yemen’s STC to peacefully withdraw from seized provinces, Hadramout and al-Mahra, to support de-escalation efforts in the southern region. The Saudi-led coalition warned of responding to any separatist military movements that undermine peace and accused the STC of human rights violations. The STC, backed by the UAE, seeks to revive South Yemen and remains defiant despite strikes blamed on Saudi Arabia. Tensions escalate as Yemen’s government calls for coalition support in Hadramout, where separatists have seized territory, putting pressure on Saudi-UAE ties.
