BIG: Saudi airstrikes hit Yemen’s Mukalla Port, targeting ships from the UAE carrying armored vehicles and weapons for UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) separatists. Tensions between Saudi-backed and UAE-backed forces have escalated sharply after pro-UAE forces seized large parts of eastern Yemen, ignoring Saudi warnings and even a recent warning airstrike.

Tensions in Yemen 🇾🇪 continue to rise. In recent hours, UAE-backed 🇦🇪 STC forces have sent more troops into Mahra province to tighten their control, a move opposed by Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. It’s yet another sign that the situation could worsen at any moment.

Saudi-backed Yemeni قوات درع الوطن and Emergency Forces have received additional MRAPs and other supplies. Iranian-backed Houthis see these movements as preparation for a ground war. UAE-backed STC forces believe the reinforcements are aimed at them. The equipment entered through the Saudi–Yemeni Al-Wadiah border crossing, and locals filmed its arrival in Shabwah governorate.

The situation in Al-Mahra Governorate is unclear. The southern forces that were previously based there have essentially pledged loyalty to the Southern Forces Command of the Southern Transitional Council المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي (STC). At the same time, there has been an increased mobilization of the National Shield Forces قوات درع الوطن (NSF) in Al-Mahra. The first NSF wave took control of positions where Saudi forces had been active, including Nashton Port and Al-Ghaydah Airport. However today, the NSF started securing key government buildings. For the moment, the border posts with Oman in Sarfait and Shahan continue to fly the southern flag, and the borders remain open. It would not be surprising, however, if they were closed given the ongoing security turmoil. In short, the situation in Al-Mahra remains unresolved. It is still unclear which side will emerge as the dominant security and military force: the Saudi-backed National Shield Forces or the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council forces.

#Yemen It appears that the Saudi-backed @direalwatany National Shield Forces (NSF) are beginning to recover from the initial shock caused by the UAE-backed المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي and their military expansion into Hadramawt and Mahra in eastern Yemen. Just as the NSF’s 2nd Division took control of the 23rd Mechanized Brigade’s base in Al-Abr, the NSF under the command of Brigadier General Abdullah bin Sadiq al-Mahri has now taken over the base near the Nishtun seaport. Their presence also extends to Al-Ghaydah Airport. These three locations, where the NSF is currently deployed, hold significant strategic importance for Saudi Arabia. It seems that ongoing negotiations and new arrangements are taking shape at this time.

Eastern #Yemen | UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي (STC) forces have reached Al-Ghayda in Al-Mahra after several days of negotiations with the National Shield Forces (NSF). One of the commanders of this unit is Brigadier General Fadhl Ba Besh, a former Special Security Forces officer from Abyan under عبدربه منصور هادي. He now leads one of the STC’s special forces units in Aden. Meanwhile, the Saudi-backed NSF continues to move large troop formations from Lahij, Aden, and the Wad’iah border crossing toward Hadramawt’s Wadi and Desert Districts. What is clear is that STC checkpoints on the N4 and N5 have not attempted to block or slow this NSF mobilization. The opposite is also true: NSF checkpoints are allowing STC forces to pass. In addition, some, though not all-NSF units are seen carrying the former South Yemen flag, which is also used by the STC. Altogether, it’s becoming clear that the NSF and STC are coordinating closely to avoid direct confrontations or clashes. Will this passive coordination hold? Time will tell.

New UAE Armored Vehicles Deployed in Al-Mukalla as STC Reinforcements Continue || #Yemen New UAE armored vehicles have been sighted in Al-Mukalla, Hadramout, reinforcing forces loyal to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) amid rising tensions in eastern Yemen. The vehicles appear unaffected by the recent strike on the port, suggesting that the latest military deployment and supply lines remain intact despite ongoing escalation and security developments in the region.

The STC has deployed additional forces to Al-Mahra in eastern #Yemen, with a new brigade arriving in the governorate late tonight. The move runs counter to requests by Saudi Arabia and PLC Chairman Rashad al-Alimi for the STC to withdraw its forces from both Mahrah & #Hadramout.

A major geopolitical shift is underway in #Yemen. What’s amazing is how quickly #UAE-backed southern forces are gaining in the eastern governorates, right up to the border with #Oman (this video is from #Mahra in the far east). It smacks of a deal. A takeover would bring 2 major wins to UAE-backed southern separatists 1. Consolidation of their power in the south in advance of any deal Saudi might make with the Houthis in the north 2. Control of lucrative coastline, ports, energy resources, trade routes & strategic security locations
