Saudi airstrikes on Yemen's Mukalla port targeted UAE-sourced weapons, triggering a regional escalation.
On December 29, 2025, Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes on Yemen's Mukalla port, claiming that the weapons and combat vehicles were being transported from the UAE's Fujairah port to the Southern Transitional Council (STC), which is supported by the UAE.
