Yemen Separatists Accuse Saudi Arabia of Launching Airstrikes Against Their Forces
The Southern Transitional Council accused Saudi Arabia of airstrikes after recent territorial gains, amid rising Saudi-United Arab Emirates tension and security concerns in Yemen.
- On Friday, the Southern Transitional Council accused Saudi Arabia of airstrikes against its forces in Hadramout governorate, while Saudi officials did not immediately acknowledge the claims.
- Amr Al Bidh said Council fighters were operating in eastern Hadramout after ambushes that killed two and wounded 12, following the Council's move earlier this month into Hadramout and Mahra governorates.
- The Council's AIC channel aired mobile phone footage it said showed the strikes, including a man blaming Saudi aircraft, and a Council representative placed the strikes after their movements.
- Reporting of the alleged strikes raised immediate concerns about coalition cohesion as demonstrators in Aden rallied Thursday supporting secessionist forces amid rising tensions threatening the fragile Saudi-led coalition .
- The incident adds strain to Saudi-UAE relations amid competing regional influence, as separatists' actions pressure ties and rivalries escalate in Sudan where both back opposing forces.
