Saudi Arabia backs call for UAE to leave Yemen after strike on separatist-held port

Saudi Arabia to UAE: Leave Yemen after strike on separatist-held port. The Saudi-led coalition bombed a weapons shipment destined for UAE-backed separatists in Mukalla, prompting Saudi Arabia to demand the UAE's withdrawal within 24 hours. The UAE denied the allegations and expressed regret, while the Separatist Transitional Council (STC) refused the withdrawal ultimatum, insisting on its role in fighting the Houthis in Yemen. The situation highlights tensions between regional powers and internal factions in the complex Yemen conflict.
