New Facts: Saudi Arabia accuses UAE of arming separatists
On December 31, 2025, Saudi Arabia disclosed details of its recent bombing of Mukalla, Yemen, amid escalating tensions with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Saudi government has accused the UAE of supporting separatists in Yemen, a claim that the UAE has denied.
In response to these accusations, the UAE is reportedly set to withdraw its forces from Yemen, signaling a potential shift in regional military dynamics.
This development comes as both nations have been involved in a coalition against Houthi forces in Yemen, complicating the ongoing conflict that has persisted since 2015.
While Saudi Arabia's claims regarding UAE support for separatists are clear, the UAE's denial raises questions about the future of their alliance and the stability of the region.
