UAE Withdraws Counterterrorism Units from Yemen After Saudi-Led Attacks

Withdrawal of Counterterrorism Units

The United Arab Emirates has announced its decision to withdraw all counterterrorism units from Yemen following airstrikes conducted by a Saudi-led coalition targeting a port in southern Yemen. Riyadh has accused the UAE of transporting weapons and military vehicles to support separatist movements in Yemen, allegations that Abu Dhabi has vehemently denied.

This announcement comes amid a tense and complicated context, and the withdrawal is seen as a significant shift in the dynamics of the ongoing conflict in the region.
