UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it has no connection to current tensions between Yemeni parties and denied exerting pressure on or directing any Yemeni side to carry out military operations affecting Saudi security or targeting its borders.

It noted high-level coordination on these vehicles with relevant authorities in Saudi Arabia and agreement that vehicles would not leave port.
UAE stressed that since onset of events in Hadramout and Al Mahrah, its position focused on containing situation, supporting de-escalation paths, and pushing toward understandings that preserve security, stability, and protection of civilians, in coordination with Saudi Arabia.
Foreign Ministry reiterated that UAE presence in Yemen came at invitation of legitimate Yemeni government and within Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia, aiming to support restoration of legitimacy and counterterrorism, while fully respecting Yemen’s sovereignty.
